Je sais que c'est dur de partir mais je m'en vais
I know it's hard to leave, but I'm off
Cette fois je te jure que c'est vrai
This time I swear it's true
Je ne veux plus rester
I don't want to stay any longer
Cent fois j'ai voulu te quitter
A hundred times I've wanted to leave you
Et puis cent fois
And then a hundred times
Je n'ai pas eu la force de partir
I didn't have the strength to go
J'avais trop peur de voir la vie sans toi, c'est fini
I was too afraid to see life without you, it's over
Vado via, vado via
I'm heading out, I'm heading out
Je m'en vais
I'm leaving now
Je dois m'en aller
I have to go away
Vivre
To live
Je veux vivre
I want to live
Être libre
To be free
Et poursuivre
And to chase
Tous mes rêves
All my dreams
Comme au temps où je croyais encore
Like in the days when I still believed
À l'arc-en-ciel qui vient après la pluie, c'est fini
In the rainbow that comes after the rain, it's over
Vado via, vado via
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Je m'en vais
I'm leaving
Je dois m'en aller
I have to go
Donne
Give
Donne-moi le courage qui pardonne
Give me the courage to forgive
Tout le mal que l'on a pu se faire
All the harm we've caused each other
Et laisse-moi vivre ma vie sans toi, c'est fini
And let me live my life without you, it's over
Vado via, vado via
I'm going away, I'm going away
Je m'en vais
I'm leaving
Je dois m'en aller
I have to go
Vado
Going
Vado via
I'm going away
Adesso
Now
Che posso
What can I do
Ti lascio
I'm leaving you
Adesso
Right now
Che posso
What can I do
Ti lascio
I'm leaving you
Ti lascio
I'm leaving you
Vado via
I'm going away
