Tu t'en vas [English translation]

If I could

I would tell you

Stay with me

Upon my heart and my soul

A teardrop shatters

I do not have the right

I want to keep you there

To speak to you in a whisper

As my stark skin trembles under your fingers

And I see into your eyes

That she is whom you desire

You leave

Leaving me alone behind you

You leave

And my heart is blown to smithereens

You leave

Taking a part of me

But you leave

Everytime

To meet those who belong to you

To meet the woman who is yours in your house

Devastated, I smile at you

I cannot speak anymore

I look back and take in my arms

The calandar

Dying as I await you,

As I miss you

I would like so much to go and tell her everything

But if you would not come back

How could I keep you by my side?

You leave

Leaving me alone behind you

You leave

And my heart is blown to smithereens

You leave

Taking a part of me

But you leave

It is the last time

I am nothing but a second voice

That your heart will not hear

Go and meet up with the woman

Who loves you

In your house

You leave... You leave... You leave... You leave
