Elle, lui et l’autre [English translation]

Here we are—his ring is on my finger

and it will be there forevermore.

He loves me so much and yet before him

another was important in my life.

Here we are—my ring is on her finger

and I know that she does not love me.

But I love her and I want her to forget

that another has passed through her life.

Here they are—his ring is on her finger

and I know that she loves only me.

But today she has become nothing but a friend—

another has come into my life.

Oh, Lord—you who know what is in the past—

make it the past no longer.

And let the one who offers me happiness

tomorrow be the only one in my heart.

The only one—the only one in my heart.
