Partir, il nous faut [English translation]

Walk away, we must search for love far from here.

Walk away, we must, but remember that one day:

the sky was blue—we met one another.

Today, it rains, we must separate.

A beautiful blue sky could not change anything.

Walk away, we must, love has gone away.

How beautiful was the weather when we were in love.

Where is the bird that came to sing?

Lost way up there—it has flown away.

The song of a bird could not change anything.

Memories are made of nothing.

A detail sometimes comes back to you.

No, you never forget anything when the heart remembers.

~~~~~

The child who laughed when we met,

I hear crying down in the street.

The laughter of a child could not change anything.

Walk away, we must, our hearts filled with regrets.

How beautiful was the weather when we were in love.

Today it rains, adieu beautiful bird.

The child with blue eyes has a very big heart,

but none of all that could change anything.

No, none of all that could change anything.
