J'ai besoin de toi [English translation]

I live in the shadows as soon as I no longer have your eyes,

In the silence as soon as I no longer have your laugh.

Like a believer who killed his God

I continue to live without a reason to live.

I need you like a tree needs rain

I need you like a man needs to forget

I need you like the shadows need the day

And I can't do anything to help it.

Your love holds me.

I need you always.

And I can't do anything to help it.

Your love holds me.

I need you always!

The night brings me images of illusion:

I'll find you in a dream's movie theater

I tell you: "It's really you! It's been so long!"

And you respond to me when the day begins.

I need you to know that the weather must be beautiful at night.

I need you to be better-off than I am

I need you to know that time is short

And I can't do anything to help it.

Your love holds me.

I need you always!

And I can't do anything to help it.

Your love holds me.

I need you always!
