Désormais
From now on
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
We won't be seen together anymore
Désormais
From now on
Mon cœur vivra sous les décombres
My heart will live under the rubble
De ce monde qui nous ressemble
Of this world that resembles us
Et que le temps a dévasté
And that time has devastated
Désormais
From now on
Ma voix ne dira plus "je t'aime"
My voice will no longer say 'I love you'
Désormais
From now on
Moi qui voulais être ton ombre
Me, who wanted to be your shadow
Je serai l'ombre de moi-même
I will be the shadow of myself
Ma main de ta main séparée
My hand separated from your hand
Jamais plus
Never again
Nous ne mordrons au même fruit
We will not bite the same fruit
Ne dormirons au même lit
Will not sleep in the same bed
Ne referons les mêmes gestes
Will not repeat the same gestures
Jamais plus
Never again
Ne connaîtrons la même peur
Will not know the same fear
De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur
Of seeing our happiness flee away
Et du reste désormais
And from now on
Désormais
From now on
Les gens nous verrons l'un sans l'autre
People will see us apart
Désormais
From now on
Nous changerons nos habitudes
We will change our ways
Et ces mots que je croyais nôtres
And those words I thought were ours
Tu les diras dans d'autres bras
You'll say them in another's arms
Désormais
From now on
Je garderai ma porte close
I'll keep my door closed
Désormais
From now on
Enfermé dans ma solitude
Locked away in my solitude
Je traînerai parmi les choses
I will linger among the things
Qui parleront toujours de toi
That will always speak of you
Jamais plus
Never again
Nous ne mordrons au même fruit
We will not bite the same fruit
Ne dormirons au même lit
Will not sleep in the same bed
Ne referons les mêmes gestes
Will not make the same gestures again
Jamais plus
Never again
Ne connaîtrons la même peur
Will not know the same fear
De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur
Of watching our happiness flee away
Et du reste désormais
And from now on
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
We won't be seen together anymore
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
We won't be seen together anymore
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
We won't be seen together anymore
