On refait pas l'histoire non
We can't rewrite history, no
Mais l'on peut ranger sa maison
But we can tidy up our home
Y'a plus de larmes dans nos placards
There are more tears in our closets
Que de raison
Than reason
On refait pas l'histoire non
We can't rewrite history, no
Mais l'on pourrait changer de ton
But we could change our tone
Dites n'est-il jamais trop tard
Tell me, is it ever too late
Pour un pardon
For a pardon
J'ai rien voulu casser
I never meant to break anything
Si ce n'est le son de ma voix
Except for the sound of my voice
Dire aux gens que j'ai abimés
Tell the people that I've hurt
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Au nom de la superbe
In the name of greatness
On a déchiré des familles
We've torn families apart
Comme si le monde manquait de guerres
As if the world lacked wars
De pacotilles
Of cheapness
Plutôt que le silence
Rather than silence
Plutôt que bomber la poitrine
Rather than puffing out my chest
Se donner une nouvelle chance
Giving ourselves a new chance
Serait sublime
Would be sublime
J'ai rien voulu casser si ce n'est le son de ma voix
I didn't want to break anything except the sound of my voice
Jusqu'à temps que vous l'entendiez
Until you hear it
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
On refait pas l'histoire non
We can't rewrite history, can we?
Mais l'on peut ranger sa maison
But you can tidy up your home
Y'a plus de larmes dans nos placards
There are more tears in our cupboards
Que de raison
Than there is reason
On refait pas l'histoire non
We can't rewrite history, no
Mais l'on pourrait changer de ton
But we could change the tone
Dites n'est-il jamais trop tard
Tell me, is it ever too late?
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
Pardonnez-moi
Forgive me
