Avec le temps [English translation]

Overtime...

Over time, goes everything away

We forget the face and the voice

The heart when he doesn't love anymore, there is no reason

To insist, we have to let it go and move on

Over time,

Over time, goes everything away

The one we used to love, we looked for in the rain

The one we found at a glance

We understood the words, could read between the lines, could find despite the blush

Of a disguised promise that is going to disappear into the night

Overtime everything vanishes

Overtime...

Over time goes everything away

Even the sweetest memories Yes, surprising no?

At the bazaar I'm searching in the aisle of Death

the Saturday night when the tenderness goes away alone

Overtime...

Over time goes everything away...

The one whom we cared for when sick whom we cared for the little things

The one whom we gave wind and jewels to

The one for whom we would have sold our soul for few coins

The one for whom we would have been their dog

Overtime, goes everything away, everything is fine

Over time...

Over time, goes everything away

We forget the passionate loves, the voices

that whispered the words poor people say to one another

Don't come back too late and don't get sick

Overtime...

Over time goes everything away

And we feel exhausted like a workhorse

And we feel frozen in this bed

And we feel alone maybe, but at peace

And we feel cheated by all those lost years

Then really... over time... we don't love anymore
