Un grand amour [English translation]

We can search for love in the eyes we meet

In the skin we touch, in the hollow of silky nights, with full mouths

We must search for love, it's the most basic thing, you know

There is nothing else in the world, it's true and nothing else matters

We can search for love in a thousand and one ways, quietly passing

Or as if there was nothing else to do

We must search for love to save our cold jars of milk, to save our hellish lives

It's set in stone but sometimes

We sometimes find a great love

That carries us away without returning

Without excuses, without whys

And so, that is great love

The one we always dreamed of

We always dreamed of

We need love, whatever our face, whatever our prowess

And whatever our wild ones

We need love like we breathe, you know

It's there that it's our unexpected, it's there we tear each other apart

We sometimes love against all hope

Without the shadow of an asset, without the shadow of a chance, as if on its knees

We sometimes love like castaways, you know

Like people possessed, it's true, it's there that our chance is

And sometimes

We sometimes find a great love

That carries us away without returning

Without excuses, without whys

And so, that is great love

The one we always dreamed of

We always dreamed of

When we find love again, it's like a blank page

That we need to write on, just as we lean

Look, look

We sometimes find a great love

That carries us away without returning

Without excuses, without whys

And so, that is great love

The one we always dreamed of

We always dreamed of
