Entre deux trains, entre deux portes
Between two trains, between two doors
Entre deux avions qui m'emportent
Between two planes that carry me away
Entre New York et Singapour
Between New York and Singapore
Ma pensée fait comme un détour
My thoughts take a detour
Pour me ramener sur les traces
To bring me back to the traces
D'un passé que j'aimais tant
Of a past that I loved so much
D'un bonheur qui semblait pourtant
Of a happiness that seemed yet
De chaque jour, de chaque instant
Of each day, of each moment
Et je ressens comme une angoisse
And I feel like a tightness
Dans ma gorge qui se noue
In my throat that is knotted
Car tout est sens dessus dessous
Because everything is upside down
Entre nous
Between us
Entre deux bars, entre deux verres
Between two bars, between two drinks
Entre deux filles un peu vulgaires
Between two slightly vulgar girls
Entre l'ivresse et le cafard
Between intoxication and the blues
Ma pensée revient tôt ou tard
My thoughts return sooner or later
Vers ce passé qui fut le nôtre
To that past that was ours
Dont j'entends toujours la voix
Whose voice I still hear
Vers tout ce qui fut toi et moi
To all that was you and me
Avant que ne meurent nos joies
Before our joys fade away
À présent ton coeur est tout autre
Now your heart is completely different
Il cherche à oublier tout
It's trying to forget everything
Faisant le vide tout à coup
Suddenly clearing the space
Entre nous
Between us
Entre deux draps, entre deux rêves
Between two sheets, between two dreams
Entre deux fumées qui s'élèvent
Between two smokes that rise
Entre la nuit, le petit jour
Between night and the break of dawn
Ma pensée vole vers l'amour
My thoughts soar towards love
Et fermant les yeux, j'imagine
And closing my eyes, I imagine
Que le passé vit encore
That the past still lives on
Je reconstitue le décor
I recreate the scene
Et prends ta bouche et prends ton corps
And take your mouth and take your body
Et sur l'humble théâtre en ruine
And on the humble, crumbling stage
De mon coeur, l'amour rejoue
Of my heart, love performs again
Tout ce qu'il y eut d'un peu fou
All that was a bit crazy
Entre nous
Between us
