On était beau [English translation]

On the sidewalks I think of you

On the boulevards I think of you

In the dark of night I think of you

Even if it's late

Under the street lamps I think of you

In the light I think of you

On both sides of my brain I think of you

Under the dust

We were beautiful

yet we raced without braking

we loved too much

to love each other well

Often, when we smiled over nothing

we loved too much

to love each other well

When I wake up I think of you

When I fall back asleep I think of you

When its too sunny I think of you

It's no longer the same

I walk the line and I think of you

I'm rushed and I think of you

If I retreat and I think of you

I am so ridiculous

We were beautiful

yet we raced without braking

we loved too much

to love each other well

Often, when we smiled over nothing

we loved too much

to love each other well

I am sorry but I think of you

Nearly obsessed thinking of you

Dispossessed thinking of you

Too exhausted

On every road I think of you

If I listen I think of you

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I think of you

I'm so disgusted with myself

We were beautiful

yet we raced without braking

we loved too much

to love each other well

Often, when we smiled over nothing

we loved too much

to love each other well

You know I choke back tears and I think of you

When I go to bed I think of you

I lose my breath I think of you

at the edge of an abyss

Another night I think of you

I have the blues I think of you

In the haze I think of you

I just can't believe it

We were beautiful

yet we raced without braking

we loved too much

to love each other well

Often, when we smiled over nothing

we loved too much

to love each other well
