Avec le temps [English translation]

As time goes by

As time goes by, well, everything goes away

We forget the face

And we forget the voice

When the heart stops beating

It's useless to look any further

Just let it go,it's all right

As time goes by

as time goes by, well, everything goes away

The one we loved

That we looked for in the rain;

The one we guessed in an side long glance between the lines

Between the words and under the blush of a made-up oath

Who leaves to go to sleep;

As time goes by

as time goes by, it goes, everything goes away

Even the coolest memories

Look like one of those mugs

At the "J'farfouille" 1) gallery in the sections of the Death

On Saturday nights when the tenderness vanishes

As time goes by

As time goes by, well, everything goes away...

The one whom we believed, about everything and nothing

The one to whom we'd give wind and jewels;

For whom we'd have sold our souls for pennies

Before whom we'd have crawled like dogs

As time goes by, as time goes by, well,

Everything goes away...

We forget the passions, we forget the voices

That whispered to you, poor people's words:

" Don't be too late, and above all don't catch a cold"

As time goes by,

As time goes by, well, everything goes away and we feel blanched

Like a worn out horse and we feel cold

In a bed of chance and we feel all alone

Maybe, but at peace

And we feel deceived by the lost years

Then, then, as time goes by...

Love goes away
