Si je t'ai blessé
If I have hurt you
Si j'ai noirci ton passé
If I've darkened your past
Viens pleurer
Come cry
Au creux de mon épaule
In the hollow of my shoulder
Viens tout contre moi
Come close to me
Et si je fus maladroit
And if I was clumsy
Je t'en prie
I beg you
Chérie pardonne-moi
Darling, forgive me
Laisse ta pudeur
Leave your modesty
Du plus profond de ton cœur
From the depths of your heart
Viens pleurer
Come and cry
Au creux de mon épaule
In the hollow of my shoulder
Oublie si tu peux
Forget if you can
Nos querelles d'amoureux
Our lover's quarrels
Et chérie
And darling
Nous pourrons être heureux
We can be happy
Oh mon amour
Oh my love
Ne m'enlève pas le souffle de ma vie
Don't take away the breath of my life
Ni mes joies
Nor my joys
Pour ce qui ne fut
For what never was
Qu'un instant de folie
Just a moment of madness
Ne dis pas adieu
Don't say goodbye
Nous serions trop malheureux
We would be too unhappy
Viens pleurer
Come weep
Au creux de mon épaule
In the crook of my shoulder
Car si tu partais
For if you were to leave
Si mon bonheur se brisait
If my happiness shattered
Mon amour
My love
Combien je souffrirais
How much I would suffer
Ne dis pas adieu
Don't say goodbye
Nous serions trop malheureux
We would be too unhappy
Viens pleurer
Come cry
Au creux de mon épaule
In the curve of my shoulder
Car si tu partais
For if you were to leave
Si mon bonheur se brisait
If my happiness shattered
Mon amour
My love
C'est moi qui pleurerais
It would be me who would cry
