L’éclipse [English translation]

You’re told that time is your best friend

That everything will be forgotten

Days and people pass, tongues loosen

You’re even told that you seem to be blossoming more

That the water has flowed under bridges

In your bed and in your house

That it’s your life that passes without her for good

It’s a total eclipse outside

And you think about her again

Is your love dead?

Is your love dead?

It’s a total eclipse outside

And you think about her again

Is your silence golden?

Is your silence golden?

Do you see her when you sleep?

Is your love dead?

You’re told that she goes running every Monday

That often she talks about you and smiles

You’ve even been told that she dances, that she goes out in all of Paris

And that she has never been so happy

But that she doesn’t find time long

In her bed and in her home

That it’s her life that passes without you for good

It’s a total eclipse outside

And you think about her again

Is your love dead?

Is your love dead?

It’s a total eclipse outside

And you think about her again

Is your silence golden?

Is your silence golden?

Do you see her when you sleep?

Is your love dead?

It’s a total eclipse outside

And you think of her again

Is your love dead?

Is your love dead?

Does she think of you again?

Is your* love dead?

Or just a meteor?

Does she still burn in your body?

Is your* love dead?
