Un amour qui s'est éteint [English translation]

La la la ...

In Venice, on the grey water,

your image, your face

is reflected, and silent

I remain and I weep

for your absence, your silence.

You write to me less and less,

tonight I try in vain to revive

a love that has ended.

In Venice your promises

drag on and on and endlessly

I invent you, in silence I invent

your presence for myself,

you hug me and you kiss me

but suddnly I wake up.

Nothing is left for me now1

but a love that has ended.

~ ~ ~

I don't care, let a wave

carry me far, very far away.

Nothing is left for me now

but a love that has ended.

La la la ...

1. "now" because "any more" feels a bit clumsy
