Avec le temps [English translation]

With time,

As time goes on, everything will fade away

You'll forget her face, then you'll forget her voice

Now as your heart stops beating, you feel you can't go on

That there is no point, but eventually you will let go, that's how it goes

...

.....

She who you once loved, who you used to chase through the rainfall

She whose presence you'd sense behind you

Who you understood between the lines and knew under her blush

A tacit promise now dies away

Time goes on and everything disappears into nothingness

...

.....

Our best memories age ungraciously

You feel gloomy, harbour dark thoughts

On a saturday night all alone and loveless

...

.....

She who you believed in through thick and thin

She who you gave your soul to,

For whom you'd have done absolutely anything

Who you grovelled to like a sad dog

As time goes on, everything goes on

......

.................

And you feel empty, like an exhausted animal

And you find yourself cold in a foreign bed

And you feel all alone perhaps but also left alone

And you feel cheated for all the lost years

Then .. in time..your love disappears
