Les gens qu'on aime [English translation]

I could have dragged along my dreams

I could have been nonchalant

Waiting here for the day to end

Taken out the dog, if I had one

I could have dreamed up inventories

Redo and focus

But this morning I have much more precious things to do

Dam da ba da ba

This morning I'm going to tell the people I love

Or just thank them for being who they are

Tell them they change my bitter hours into poems

And all the words we keep quiet about

This morning I'm going to tell the people I love

Oh, how they're important to me every moment

Sweet words are better than a beautiful requiem

And tell them it's important

And say it as long as it's time

We always want to wait until next time

Postpone until tomorrow

It's much easier to hate

Anonymously, hiding all alone

And so flow our lives, like water in fountains

The everyday life

And so go by days and then weeks

Dam da ba da ba

This morning I'm going to tell the people I love

Or just thank them for being who they are

Tell them they change my bitter hours into poems

And all the words we hide

This morning I'm going to tell the people I love

Oh, how they're important to me every moment

Sweet words are better than a large chrysanthemum

And tell them it's important

Remind them from time to time

I could have dragged along my dreams

I could have been nonchalant

Waiting here for the day to end

Dam da ba da ba

We should tell people we love them

Find the phrases, find the time

Let them change our bitter hours into poems

We should all tell one another

It's necessary to tell people we love them

Because they're important to us every moment

Sweet words are better than a beautiful requiem

As long as we are alive and well

Say everything to each other when it's time
