Égoïste [English translation]

I ask you to read,

Ask you to believe me

Drink these words, these lines

Because it's for you tonight.

A love letter,

It's as we hope

Because i'm there always

Above but no less proud

You find me selfish

I've often regretted the sad, but at least liberated paradise

I cried, sorry to have left you

The useless reasons you don't want to see

Which grow to mutilate

You don't want to know

Sometimes it's easier to grasp the emptiness

Than to struggle feverishly

I'm not so strong

You find me selfish

I've often regretted the sad, but at least liberated paradise

I cried, sorry to have left you

Though I'm selfish, I've often regretted the sad

But at least liberated paradise

I cried, sorry to have left you

The useless reasons you don't want to see

Which grow to mutilate

You don't want to know

Sometimes it's easier to grasp the emptiness

Than to struggle feverishly

I'm not so strong

You find me selfish

I've often regretted the sad, but at least liberated paradise

I cried, sorry to have left you
