Je n'oublierai jamais le gai trajet que fait
I will never forget the joyful journey we made
Le petit chemin de pierres
Down the little stone path
Parmi le lierre et les genêts
Among the ivy and broom flowers
Là tu disais que tu m'aimais, que tu m'aimais
There you said that you loved me, that you loved me
M'aimerais la vie entière
You would love me for my whole life
Douce prière que j'écoutais
A sweet prayer that I listened to
La joie chantait dans nos cœurs
Joy sang in our hearts
Battant la même mesure
Beating to the same rhythm
Nos yeux brillaient d'un éclat plus chaud
Our eyes shone with a warmer glow
Que les feux du ciel
Than the fires of the sky
La terre autour de nous deux
The earth around us two
Tournait à si folle allure
Was spinning at such a crazy speed
Que notre amour semblait surnaturel
That our love seemed supernatural
Mais aujourd'hui
But today
Je prie, je crie, je fuis, je suis
I pray, I scream, I flee, I am
Seule avec toute ma peine
Alone with all my grief
Pauvre rengaine que sont mes nuits
Oh, the poor refrain that are my nights
Car j'ai laissé mon cœur lassé, blessé, brisé
For I left my heart weary, hurt, broken
Sur notre chemin de pierres
On our stony path
Si solitaire et délaissé
So solitary and forsaken
Cruel mirage que ce chemin
Cruel mirage that this path
Trop beau voyage sans lendemain
Too beautiful a journey without a tomorrow
