Tu ne me dois rien [English translation]

I can't hear you that well

It has been so long

Whence are you calling me?

Whence comes this urgent need

to listen to me now?

Have the pigs begun to fly?1

' you been missing my voice

after almost a year?

It would be a nice day

and there aren't so many

I know how to make do

with the little things, now

We bury what's dying

we keep the good old times

I was sometimes afraid

you'd forget me, really

You do have on my mood

embarrassing effects, still

But you owe me none

I've had a terrible time

getting used to this idea

accepting it, at last

Won't you be grateful to me? (or : At least, be grateful to me)

Each one goes their own way

with what each of them was given

But you, you owe me nothing,

no, nothing

You didn't bother me

I live alone for now

But I'm in no hurry

I live in the moment

Things are so difficult

Everything seems so different

We don't rebuild our life

We simply continue

We don't sleep as soundly

We patiently listen

From the house for sounds

from outside, the falling down

That said, I'm doing fine

Call me more frequently

if you so desire

if you do have some time

But nothing is written

and you ain't obliged, really

But you owe me none

I've had a terrible time

getting used to this idea

accepting it, at last

At least, be grateful to me

Each one goes their own way

with what each of them was given

But you, you owe me nothing, no

You owe me nothing, nothing

1. In French the expression to define an event that will never happen is: "When the hens will have teeth". In English this French popular expression is replaced by: "When pigs fly".
