Tu t'en vas [French translation]

You're leaving

Oh no, sweetheart / it' s no bother

a few weeks wait/ing for each other 5

You're leaving

My joys, my dreams/ are all for you

There's no way you / could have misconstrued 5

You're leaving

But all our love / belongs to us

Nobody could / take it back from us 5

You're leaving

Sometimes, distance / helps each other

To love and feel / each other better 5

You're leaving

Just like a sun/ that fades away

Like a summer, /or like a Sunday 5

I fear the wint/ er and coldness

I fear the emp/ tiness of absence 5

You're leaving

And all the birds /no longer sing

The whole World has/ turned to indifference 5

And I fear you, and I fear me

I fear the co/ming up of silence 5

You're leaving

Oh no, sweetheart, it's no bother

just an unim/ portant departure 5

You're leaving

My heart, it's all,/ you know it well,

But a caprice /of this existence

You're leaving

And Time and Space/ are meaningless

If in myself / you keep confidence 5

You're leaving

You know how things /

Just start again

For so many /lovers at each dawn5

You're leaving

And here I am, lost, forsaken,

As in my worst / hours

Of childhood 5

I fear the win/ ter and the cold

I fear the emp/ tiness of absence

You're leaving

Everything gets/ dark suddenly

The World has turned/ to incoherence 5

And I fear you, and I fear me

I fear the co/ming up of silence 5.
