Coup du sort [English translation]

Verse 1:

Even when we part

you will remain in my life forever

even when time erodes

and erases what we shared together.

Chorus:

Oh! I'll still cherish

a taste of your heart and body,

a fragment of ourselves, like a treasure,

Like a silent secret, sleeping,

a mystery, locked in a safe.

Like weaknesses which become stronger

I will inscribe into my memory

As if deep inside an ancient book

the hours we never stopped believing.

I will forget all our parting days,

I will take with me

the best few moments of your gaze.

Verse 2:

All the lamps go out

when we stop breathing

when habit rules

we get lost, step by step.

Chorus:

But I'll still cherish …

Verse 3:

It was a beautiful story,

it was a beautiful promise,

let our parting

leave us with tenderness.

Chorus:

But I'll still cherish …

Repeat chorus (lines 4,5,6 instrumental):

But I'll still cherish …
