Il te faudra bien revenir
You will have to come back eventually
Un jour, du moins, je le suppose
One day, at least, I suppose
Afin de rassembler les choses
To gather the things
Que tu as laissées en partant
That you left behind when you left
Il te faudra bien revenir
You will have to come back eventually
Un court moment sur les lieux mêmes
For a little while at the very spot
Où vivent toujours nos "je t'aime"
Where our 'I love you's still live on
Et c'est ce moment que j'attends
And it's that moment I'm waiting for
Que j'attends
That I'm waiting for
Mes mains parlent de toi
My hands speak of you
Comme en parlent mes rêves
As my dreams speak of
Comme en parle mon coeur
As my heart speaks of
Que le destin foudroie
May fate strike down
Comme en parlent mes joies
As my joys speak of
Que ton absence enfièvre
That your absence inflames
Car ton départ les sèvre
For your departure drys them up
De tout ce qui n'est plus toi
Of everything that is no longer you
Il te faudra bien revenir
You will have to return
Pour me conter ce que j'ignore
To tell me what I don't know
Je ne sais si tu m'aimes encore
I don't know if you still love me
Tu es partie sans m'expliquer
You left without explaining to me
Il te faudra bien revenir
You'll have to come back eventually
Et quand tu passeras la porte
And when you walk through the door
Le passé sera lettre morte
The past will be a dead letter
Je ferai tout pour te garder
I'll do anything to keep you
Te garder
To keep you
Ma peau pleure le frisson
My skin cries for the shiver
Comme pleure ma bouche
Like my mouth cries
Comme pleurent mes nuits
Like my nights cry
Prises à ton tourbillon
Caught in your whirlwind
Poussés par la passion
Driven by passion
Mes doigts froissent et touchent
My fingers crumple and touch
Le vide de ma couche
The emptiness of my bed
Tandis que je crie ton nom
While I scream your name
Mon coeur meurtri de souvenirs
My heart bruised by memories
Supporte mal la solitude
Struggles with solitude
Pour le sauver de l'inquiétude
To save it from worry
Il te faudra bien revenir
You'll have to come back
Il te faudra bien revenir
You'll have to come back
Il te faudra bien revenir
You'll have to come back
