Que toi au monde [English translation]

When you held me

In your arms

My heart stopped beating

You didn't know

Which land

You were going to fight in

I begged:

"Don't take him away from me!"1

But they came and took you

You're the only one in the world

Who talks of love to me

The only one who answers me

When I cry for help

You're the only one in the world

In whom I can confide

My deepest wounds

And my broken dreams

You're the only one I have

And if I ever lose you

I think it'll kill me

You know

You were leaving

To bring peace

To a distressed population

Without hesitation

You were ready

To sacrifice your youth

You were as beautiful

As a hero

On your last picture

You're the only one in the world

Who talks of love to me

The only one who answers me

When I cry for help

You're the only one I have

Will you come back alive

From this horrible war?

Alive, but unchanged, too

You're the only one I have

And if I ever lose you

I think it'll kill me

You know...

You're the only one I have

But what did you do

Of your two arms

Which won't be able to hold me anymore

You're the only one in the world

Who talks of love to me

The only one who answers me

When I cry for help

You're the only one I have

And if I ever lose you

I think it'll kill me

You know...

You're the only one I have

The only one

1. Literally: Leave him to me.
