Nous n'avions pas un sou en poche
We had not a dime to our name
Mais nous étions riche d'aimer
But we were rich in love
Aimer pour aimer sans arrière-pensées
Loving for love's sake, without a thought
Plus ou moins moches
More or less ugly
Nous étions livrés à nous-mêmes
We were left to ourselves
Rien ne comptait que notre amour
Nothing mattered but our love
Et jour après jour, on se posait toujours
And day after day, we always faced
Qu'un seul problème
Just one question
Est-ce que tu m'aimes?
Do you love me?
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
I loved you so much, my love
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
I loved you so much, my love
Je t'aimais tant, tant, tant, tant, tant
I loved you so much, so, so, so, so much
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Mon amour
My love
Par l'amour, par l'alcool, par force
Through love, through alcohol, with strength
Nous arrachions la vie au temps
We tore life from time
Vivant tant et tant qu'on oubliait souvent
Living so much that we often forgot
Nos joies de gosses
Our childhood joys
Nous avions les yeux de l'enfance
We had the eyes of youth
Et des rêves aux creux de nos mains
And dreams in the hollow of our hands
Et rien, jamais rien ne nous étonnait moins
And nothing, nothing ever surprised us less
Que l'imprudence, que l'insouciance
Than recklessness, than carefreeness
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
I loved you so much, my love
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
I loved you so much, my love
Je t'aimais tant, tant, tant, tant, tant
I loved you so much, so much, so much, so much, so much
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Mon amour
My love
La folie, la furie, la rage
Madness, fury, rage
Ont saccagé notre bonheur
Have ravaged our happiness
Douleur, ma douleur, tu as laissé ton cœur
Pain, my pain, you left your heart
Dans cet orage
In this storm
Car l'amour a claqué la porte
For love has slammed the door
Me laissant seul plein de regrets
Leaving me alone, filled with regrets
Jamais, plus jamais je ne vous revivrai
Never, never will I relive you
Mes amours mortes que tout emporte
My dead loves that everything takes away
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
I loved you so much, my love
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
I loved you so much, my love
Je t'aimais tant, tant, tant, tant, tant
I loved you so much, so, so, so, so much
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Mon amour
My love
Je t'aimais tant, tant, tant, tant, tant
I loved you so, so, so, so, so much
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Mon amour
My love
Je t'aimais tant, tant, tant, tant, tant
I loved you so, so, so, so, so much
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Mon amour
My love
