Nous n'irons plus [English translation]

We'll go no more into the forest

We'll go no more into the woods

To pick the rose and the lily of the valley

The strawberry and the lilac

We'll go no more on a walk

Upon leaving school

Running fields and trails

After our crazy ideas

Short breeches, injured knees

We weren't [even] ten years old

Some of us already know

That one day we'd be big

And that day has arrived

Without much knowing why

We'll go no more into the forest

We'll go no more into the woods

We lived hand in hand

The best and the worst

Summer of happiness, or great disappointment

Mingled with our laughter

I couldn't do without you, you couldn't do without me1

We'll go no more into the forest

We'll go no more into the woods

You've grown up and me too

Time has cheated us

Each of us, a day has taken

His life's path

We'll go no more into the forest

We'll go no more into the woods

To pick the rose and the lily of the valley

The strawberry and the lilac

The lilac...

I often think of those years

I think of that time

When we'd go into the forest

Losing ourselves in the woods

In the woods...
