Lyrics

On aurait pu oser
Au moins pour les mémoires
De nos destins croisés
Et puis de notre histoire
On aurait pu oser
Frôler plus que nos âmes
Oser nos corps serrés
Sans témoins et sans drame
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé
Au creux de ces matins
Parfumés à l’aurore de nos corps
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé
À part quelques regrets,
À part quelques remords
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé?
On aurait pu oser
Défier toutes les lois
Et puis s’abandonner
Tout au creux de nos bras
On aurait pu oser
Prendre pour seul témoin
Toutes les nuits étoilées
Et puis même l’au-delà
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé
Au creux de ces matins
Parfumés à l’aurore de nos corps
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé
À part quelques regrets,
À part quelques remords
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé?
J’imagine ton sourire
En attendant ces mots
Dis-moi, dis-moi…
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé
Au creux de ces matins
Parfumés à l’aurore de nos corps
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé
À part quelques regrets,
À part quelques remords
Mais qu’aurions-nous laissé?
Je t’aurais toujours aimé
Je t’aurais toujours aimé
Je t’aurais toujours aimé…

Lyrics translation

We could have dared
At least for memoirs
Of our crossed destinies
And then from our history
We could have dared
More than our souls
Dare our tight bodies
No witnesses and no drama
But what would we have left
At the bottom of these mornings
Scented with the dawn of our bodies
But what would we have left
Apart from some regrets,
Aside from some remorse
But what would we have left?
We could have dared
Defy all laws
And then give up
All in the hollow of our arms
We could have dared
Take as witness only
Every starry night
And then even the afterlife
But what would we have left
At the bottom of these mornings
Scented with the dawn of our bodies
But what would we have left
Apart from some regrets,
Aside from some remorse
But what would we have left?
I can imagine your smile
Waiting for these words
Tell me, tell me…
But what would we have left
At the bottom of these mornings
Scented with the dawn of our bodies
But what would we have left
Apart from some regrets,
Aside from some remorse
But what would we have left?
I always would have loved you
I always would have loved you
I always would have loved you…
