Je ne sais plus ce que j'attendais
I no longer know what I was waiting for
Quand tes yeux sont tombés dans les miens
When your eyes fell into mine
Tes mains usées de l'aide des autres
Your hands worn from helping others
Et mon corps hurlait d'un lit à l'autre
And my body screamed from one bed to another
On était au bar j'oubliais l'heure
We were at the bar, I lost track of time
La lumière bleue montrait ton coeur
The blue light revealed your heart
Tu racontais les histoires des morts
You told the stories of the dead
Qui ont parsemé ta vie d'encores
Who have sprinkled your life with echoes
Mais reste un peu ce soir
But stay a little longer tonight
Il ne nous reste que l'espoir
All we have left is hope
Rêver, en terre inconnue
Dreaming, in unknown lands
Je pouvais t'attendre, pour mieux te trouver
I could wait for you, to better find you
Mais qui sait, seras-tu ma chute
But who knows, will you be my fall
Un oiseau se pose, pour mieux s'envoler
A bird lands, to better take flight
Je m'étais raconté des mondes
I had woven stories in my mind
Le matin arrivait dans l'ombre
Morning arrived in the shadows
C'était l'idée de toi qui m'habitait
It was the thought of you that filled my heart
Un être que j'avais imaginé
A being I had conjured up
Mais je nous revoyais seuls au bar
But I saw us alone at the bar again
Les doigts enfoncés dans nos bras
Fingers pressed deep in our arms
Mon sang se réchauffait sur toi
My blood warmed up on you
De peur de te perdre, de vivre sans toi
For fear of losing you, of living without you
Mais reste un peu ce soir
But stay a little tonight
Il ne nous reste que l'espoir
All we have left is hope
Rêver, en terre inconnue
To dream, in unknown lands
Je pouvais t'attendre, pour mieux te trouver
I could wait for you, to find you better
Mais qui sait, seras-tu ma chute
But who knows, will you be my downfall
Un oiseau se pose, pour mieux s'envoler
A bird lands, to take off better
