Quand tu dors près de moi [English translation]

When you sleep next to me, you whisper at times

the name better forgotten of that woman you loved.

And all alone next to you, I remember deep inside

those things that I believe but that you, my darling, do not believe.

The astonishing, overwhelming movements of the night.

The enthralling, wonderful words of our love.

If this melody reaches you—if you hear it suddenly—

I beg you, like me, not to say anything but to remember.

If this melody reaches you, in a distant country

where you live without me, do not forget that I am still yours.
