La fin de l'été [English translation]

You know, I have voyaged far and wide

I have seen other beaches

And forgotten them all

You know, I have seen many storms

Witnessed by young and old

At summer’s end

And so, I would like to know the reason why

What keeps me here beside you

Tonight, under the rainy sky

And yet, is this beach not the same

Am I no longer the same

What is it that has changed?

I know you’d like to make your journeys

Far and wide, forget our beach

Leave everything behind

Alone, I'm alone in searching for that why

What today takes you far away from me

Is this really good bye?

The rain falls and dampens my face

And confounds with the tears

I can no longer hide

Even so, I would still like to tell you

Ever more how much I love you

At least until next summer
