Dernière Chance [English translation]

J'ai rêvé de tant de choses

Que demain soit meilleur qu'hier

Moins pire qu'aujourd'hui

À la hauteur de mes prières

(i.e. as much as I prayed it would be)

I was full of dreams

With so many doubts

But little (i.e. not much) hatred

But everything has shifted

When I got to know that I was condamned

I am one of the few people

That know their time of death (lit.: their date of ending)

From now on I am like a prisoner (she uses a female form of the word prisoner)

In Death Row (i.e. the part of prison where convicted criminals await their execution)

Refrain:

I want to have one last chance

That God revises his judgment

But I have no choice

Obliged to live with that

But why?

I don't deserve it

But, nobody in the world choses his life

I confess that, at night, tears inundate (i.e. wet) my cheeks

When I think of your illness again

But across this alliance

Me, I have promised my presence

And this, for better and for worse (he is refering to his wedding vows here)

My happiness is an empire of which you are the queen

Where your smile has imposed its reign

But since then, my golden crown turns grey

I loose my throne when you tell me to redo my life

You know, one allways says that the best leave first (i.e. they die young)

Me, I abhorr (detest) this phrase

When I look at you, I say to myself that it is only too true

(There are) so many things that we haven't done together

Scarcely the time to puff them, and allready our plans/projects have turned to ashes ('crapoter' means smoking without inhaling, so it is the very first stage of learning to smoke, at least, this is how I understand it. I think the image is clear enough, but hard to translate accurately)

These dreams of seeing you pregnant are stillborn (as when a baby comes into the world when it has allready died)

I am a father with you, or not at all. You know me, I am a limited person

So stop saying sorry to me

As long as there seconds left for us to live, we will live them fully

But baby, I don't want to see you suffer

No, no, don't worry about me

Only with you do I feel good

In any case, I will take care of you

Until the day that Gabriel

De ses ailes, viendra te recouvrir

But I am scared of going far away from you

Nevertheless, one day you will have to go anyway
