La nuit n'en finit plus [English translation]

When I'm not sleeping

The night drags on

The night won't seem to end

And I wait for something to come

But I don't know who I don't know what

I want to love, I want to live

Despite the emptiness of all this time passed

Of all this wasted time

And of all this lost time

To think that there are so many beings on the earth

Who like me tonight are alone

It's sad to the point of death

What a senseless world

I would like to sleep and not think anymore

I light a cigarette

I have dark ideas in my mind

And the night seems so long, so long, so long

In the distance sometimes I hear the sound of footsteps

Someone coming

But it all fades and then it's silent

The night will then never end

The moon is blue, there are gardens

Lovers who walk on hand in hand

And I am here

Crying without knowing why

Turning like a soul in pain

Yes, alone with myself

Desiring someone that I love

Not this night, this night

That will obviously never end

But I feel so blue

I would like to leave at random

Go far away and as soon as the day arrives

But the night, the night, oh the night won't seem to end

Oh oh oh oh, oh! The night won't seem to end
