    En repensant à ma chérie, je réalise que c'est pour moi

  43. I leave the date then I radiate, I'm young, and I'm free

    Je laisse la date puis je rayonne, je suis jeune et libre

  44. Thinking back, can't be sorry, I love you best when I leave

    En repensant, je ne peux pas être désolé, je t'aime le mieux quand je m'en vais

    Mais je ne veux pas briser ton cœur (briser ton cœur)

  47. It's hard enough that we're apart (we're apart)

    C'est déjà assez dur d'être séparés (d'être séparés)

  48. All I can say is your name (is your name)

    Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est ton nom (c'est ton nom)

  49. What we had could not be tamed (could not be tamed)
