Par vague salées viens l'incompréhension
In salty waves comes the misunderstanding
Et puis la rage d'être pris pour un con
And then the anger of being treated like a fool
Pleurer crier à quoi ça sert au fond?
Crying, screaming, what's the use in the end?
Mais on est juste humain, juste humain
But we are just human, just human
On rafistole y'a plus rien à sauver
We patch things up, there's nothing left to save
On se raccroche on ne fait que couler
We hang on, but we only sink further
Tenir debout pour qui pourquoi
Standing tall for whom, for what
Dis-moi
Tell me
Mais à quoi sert demain?
But what's the use of tomorrow?
Le désamour
The unlove
C'est se dire
It's to say to oneself
Restera-t-on ami?
Will we remain friends?
Le désamour
The unlove
C'est maudire
It's to curse
Le bonheur qui s'enfuit
The happiness that slips away
Quand tout s'écroule
When everything crumbles
Comme un empire
Like an empire
Mais comment trouver pire?
But how can we find worse?
Que l'amour qui se tire
Than the love that departs
Du corps cassé naissent les mauvaises histoires
From the broken body, bad stories are born
On boit on sort on s'invente des brouillards
We drink, we go out, we create our own fogs
On s'abandonne dans d'autres bras d'un soir
We surrender ourselves in the arms of another for the evening
Nous sommes pas des saints
We are not saints
Pas des saints
Not saints
Et puis un jour on se remet debout
And then one day we get back on our feet
Parce qu'on accepte qu'il n'y ait plus de nous
Because we accept that there is no longer an us
Faut vivre ça pour pas devenir fou
You have to live this to avoid going mad
Seuls nous sommes quelques âmes
Alone, we are just a few souls
Le désamour
The un-love
C'est se dire
It's telling oneself
Restera-t-on ami?
Will we remain friends?
Le désamour
The unloving
C'est maudire
It's to curse
Le bonheur qui s'enfuit
The happiness that slips away
Quand tout s'écroule
When everything falls apart
Comme un empire
Like an empire
Mais comment trouver pire?
But how to find worse?
Que le désamour
Than the unloving
C'est vieillir de cent ans d'un seul coup
It's to age a hundred years in one go
Le désamour
The unloving
C'est mourir puisque l'autre s'en fout
It's dying since the other one doesn't care
D'un seul revers tout foutre en l'air
With just one swipe, to ruin it all
Réanimer l'espoir
Reviving hope
Devant l'amour qui se barre
In front of love that's leaving
D'un seul revers
With just one swipe
Tout foutre en l'air
To ruin it all
Réanimer l'espoir
Reviving hope
Le désamour
The unlove
C'est se dire
It's telling oneself
Restera-t-on ami?
Will we remain friends?
Le désamour
The unloving
C'est maudire
It's to curse
Le bonheur qui s'enfuit
The happiness that slips away
D'un seul revers
With a single sweep
Tout foutre en l'air
To ruin everything
Réanimer l'espoir
To revive hope
Le désamour
The unloving
