Pour en arriver là [English translation]

To get there

by Dalida

I went through nights and days without a sleep

To get there

I felt warm in the rain and cold in the scorching sun

To get there

I spoke to the fear and did shut up the silence

I made up hours, I sold my weekends

To get there, to get there

I cried so many times that I have no more tears

To get there

I fell a hundred times without laying down the arms

To get there

I tread on my life more often than in my turn

I put the end to almost all my loves

To get there, to get there

To get there, I had too many doubts of everything

of me, of you, of God

I left all my dreams of childhood behind me

Today my heart is almost in a state of emergency

To get there

I think that if I had a date with you

without a trace of regret

to get there

I will do all over again

I get used to grumble just inside of me

To get there

Not to show you that I have been pointed out

To get there

I traveled around the world, but I could not see anything

The absence was so deep that it stained my mirrors

To get there, to get there

To get there,

I had too many doubts of everything

of me, of you, of God

I left all my dreams of childhood behind me

Today my heart is almost in a state of emergency

To get there

I think that if I had a date with you

without a trace of regret

I will do all over again

To get there

I often forgot to take two tickets

Or to say: “Wait for me!”

To go nowhere I put in my memory

Only beginnings of affairs

To get there

I think that if I had a date with you

without a trace of regret

I will do all over again

To get there
