Donne-moi le temps [English translation]

So many people long to be loved

Can leave everything to devote themselves

So many mistakes we could avoid

If we could only wait a little

Give me the time

To learn what must be learned

Give me the time

To move on as I feel

Love can't be by chance

Can't happen too late

I'll learn to be patient and wait

So many dreams thrown away

Living everything to the fullest, just to escape

Are our fears really worth

Demanding so little from ourselves?

Give me the time

To learn what must be learned

Give me the time

To move on as I feel

Love can't be without patience

A story can't happen if you don't believe

Love can't be if you don't want it

If I know you're waiting for me

Give me the time

To learn what must be learned

Give me the time

To move on as I feel

Love can never be by chance

No encounter is too late

But be patient

When I give myself, I do it for real

I'll wait for you to wait for me

You will have the time

To take what you want to take

You will have the time

To get us moving on together

So many people look for each other

Desire, follow and lose one another

Let's take the trouble

To learn to know each other

I won't leave love to chance

It won't be too late

If patience is to be learnt

I'll learn the meaning of to wait

I take... the time

For you to wait for me

The time

For you
