Au prix d'un cœur

Cherchant un peu d'espoir
Searching for a bit of hope
Trop tard

Ils sont perdus, je le vois
They're lost, I see it
Les jours de joie

Il est trop tard mon amour

Je ne vis plus dans ta vie
I no longer live in your life
Et mon cœur cri
And my heart cries
D'angoisse

Je sais, quoi que je fasse
I know, no matter what I do
Qu'au fond, c'est sans espoir
That deep down, it’s hopeless
Trop tard
Too late
Mon cœur devra loin de toi
My heart will have to beat far from you
Battre sans toi
