Tu trouveras [English translation]

Like everybody else, I have my faults.

I don't always find the right words.

But if you read between the lines,

You will find in my songs

Everything I couldn't figure how to say to you.

There are printing errors,

"I love yous" that are a bit mixed up.

Despite my clumsy chords,

You will find in my songs

Everything I didn't dare say to you.

[Refrain]

You will find...

My wounds and my weaknesses,

Those that I admit only partly,

My missteps, my stumbles,

And so much more love than is really needed.

I'm so afraid you'll leave me.

Know that if I always do too much,

It's so that, for a little while, you'll stay with me,

You'll stay with me.

There are others you will love,

A lot prettier, a lot stronger than me.

Of course, I will step aside for them

When I no longer have in my songs

Anything more to say to you face to face.

Time hardens you against everything,

Illusions, tough breaks.

If I couldn't figure out how to hang onto you,

Know that there is in my songs

Everything I didn't have the time to say to you.

[Refrain x3]
