Lyrics
J’n’avais pas compris
Quand tu es parti
Que je n’pourrais pas
Vivre loin de toi
J’avais décidé
Que je t’oublierais
J’avais oublié
Que je t’adorais
C'était peut-être parce que
On n’se l’disait plus
Il me semblait que
On ne s’aimait plus
Devant la vérité
J'étais toute petite
Car je t’adorais
Bien plus que la vie
Mais oui
Bien plus que la vie
Chéri
J’n’avais rien compris
Le temps a passé
Et j’ai tout tenté
J’ai même essayé
De te remplacer
Mais quand il parlait
Je n’l’entendais pas
Et quand il riait
J’me demandais pourquoi
Il était surement
Bien plus beau que toi
Mais c'était troublant
Je ne le voyais pas
Quand ànos étreintes
Je n’en parlerai pas
Ses soupirs ses plaintes
C'était toujours toi
Quand ànos étreintes
Je n’en parlerai pas
Ses soupirs ses plaintes
C'était toujours toi
Pourquoi?
Ne reviens-tu pas
Si tu passes par là?
Lyrics translation
I didn't understand.
When you left
That I couldn't
Living away from you
I had decided
That I'd forget you
I forgot.
That I loved you
Maybe it was because
We didn't tell each other anymore
It seemed to me that
We didn't love each other anymore
Before the truth
I was a little girl.
Because I loved you
Much more than life
But yes
Much more than life
Darling
I didn't understand anything.
Time has passed
And I tried everything
I even tried
To replace you
But when he was talking
I couldn't hear it.
And when he laughed
I was wondering why
He was probably
Much more beautiful than you
But it was troubling
I didn't see him.
When to our hugs
I won't talk about it.
His sighs his complaints
It was always you
When to our hugs
I won't talk about it.
His sighs his complaints
It was always you
Why?
Don't you come back
Why don't you come by?
