We knew each other at a time when we tried to please
The other's demands,
but we lost ourselves
You're just a few kilometers away
And our hearts, our hearts rest in this sea
I ran along the Seine
Hoping to meet you again
I ran without knowing how
Nor why we got carried away
We've only known each other for a moment
And I don't know if you're worth it anymore
It's hard to be sure
And when you're in Vincennes
Tonight, don't forget me
I will at least wait for you long enough to say
That I wanted to take the greatest chance
A night that made me so sad
An night at Place de la Republique
And like you see, this is the end
I have to cross the ocean tomorrow morning
I'll tear myself away slowly from your arms
And that's the reality that's waiting for me
I know your heart is taken
By one girl or another who's left her mark
Me, I am less memorable than the others
But I hope you miss me so much, so much I stand out
And I don't know if you're worth it anymore
It's so hard to be sure
And when you're in Vincennes
Tonight, don't forget me
Only time could say how long I would wait for you
That wanted to take the greatest chance
A night that made me so sad
A night, Place de la Republique
