Le jour où tu partiras [English translation]

The day you'll leave

Far away from here, elsewhere or there

This day, at least tell me

I'll light up candles in your memory

And since you loved them so much

Those scents of cinnamon, I'll burn incense

For your unfaithful heart

It's not that I'm afraid for love

But that of me

You'll get tired some day

I know that your love is discreet

It only fantasizes in secret

But love is love

The day you'll leave

Blaming without any shame

The overwhelming amount of my caresses

This day

I'll blame your arms for leaving me loveless

And for all your broken promesses

The day you'll leave

Leaving our house, your home

My heart will want to stay quiet

In this emptiness that I already trouble myself with

Without the echo of your voice, your voice, I'll be a prisoner

The day you'll leave

Leave me your address

I'll write you tenderly

This day

At least tell me

I'm standing at your door

A need for love

No, you're not leaving

You're not leaving

Not leaving
