L'un part l'autre reste [English translation]

Have they forgotten their promises?

In the slightest laughter, in the slightest gesture

Great loves have no address

When one goes and the other one stays

Are they just a sin of youth?

Do they go away leaving nothing to us?

The great loves are in misery

When one goes and the other one stays

Stay with me

Get old without me

Don't call me anymore

Erase me

Tear my letters

And stay there

Tomorrow maybe

You'll come back

Gesture of love and tenderness

Like two birds in search of drunkenness

Great loves have no address

When one goes and the other one stays

Are they the sorrows of those who hurt you?

Just after the wake of the blunders

The great loves are in misery

When one goes and the other one stays

The sad farewells

So many dreams

If it's a game

It will be not

Give me back my letters

And stay there

Tomorrow maybe

You'll understand

The sad farewells

So many dreams

If it's a game

It will be not

Give me back my letters

And stay there

Tomorrow maybe

You'll understand

They will not forget their promises

They are written, to the same addresses

The great loves recognize themselves

When one goes and the other one stays
