Quand j'en aurai assez
When I've had enough
Assez de crever pour toi
Enough of dying for you
Assez de pleurer pour toi
Enough of crying for you
Assez de souffrir pour toi
Enough of suffering for you
Je sais que je resterai
I know I will stay
Blessé, le cœur déchiré
Wounded, my heart torn apart
Marqué quand j'en aurai assez
Marked when I've had enough
Que je serai lassé
That I'll be weary
Quand j'en aurai assez
When I've had enough
Assez de veiller la nuit
Enough of watching over the night
Assez de crier la nuit
Enough of shouting at night
Assez de trembler la nuit
Enough of trembling at night
De peur que l'amour que j'ai
For fear that the love I have
Ne meure, brisant à jamais
Might die, breaking forever
Mon cœur quand j'en aurai assez
My heart when I've had enough
Je pourrai t'oublier
I could forget you
Car tu n'as pas compris
Because you didn't understand
Qu'à travers l'insouciance
That through carelessness
Et les gestes anodins
And the trivial gestures
Les mots de tous les jours
The words of everyday life
Les sourires attendris
Tender smiles
Les pressements de mains
The shaking of hands
Que je venais t'offrir l'amour
That I came to offer you love
Aussi tu m'as détruit
Yet you have destroyed me
En me faisant si mal
By hurting me so deeply
Que je n'ai qu'un espoir
That I have but one hope
Celui de m'évader
The one to escape
Et de ne plus t'entendre
And to no longer hear you
Et de ne plus te voir
And to no longer see you
Afin de mieux me libérer
In order to better set myself free
Quand j'en aurai assez
When I've had enough
Assez de me raccrocher
Enough of clinging on
Assez de te supplier
Enough of begging you
Assez enfin de t'aimer
Finally enough of loving you
Je pourrai alors rêver
Then I will be able to dream
Je pourrai encore bâtir
I will still be able to build
Un merveilleux amour, un jour
A wonderful love, someday
Pour tout recommencer
To start all over again
