Ça va pas changer le monde [English translation]

It's funny - you have left

and yet you're still here

For everything speaks of you,

a woman's scent, the echo of your voice

I don't believe in your goodbye at all

It's a "So long", almost a rendezvous

That won't stop the world from turning

It's been turning without us

It will always rain on London

That won't change a bit at all . . .

What good can it do to the world,

A door perhaps that's shut again?

We loved each other, let's leave it at that,

And life goes on...

The world won't stop from turning

when you move house,

The world will have good ground

to go on

It's the dust from a star

that makes the Milky Way to glow

We loved each other, let's leave it at that,

and life goes on...

That won't stop the world from turning,

That won't throw it into disorder

The world is as it has been

Only you have changed

I myself have stayed the same,

He who thought you were in love with him.

It wasn't true, let's leave it at that,

And - life goes on . . .
