C'est fini [English translation]

I can't detach my eyes of your face

And I can't stop thinking about tomorrow

Which is already heralding like a terrible storm

that will wash our laghters

In the water of my sorrows

My heart is torn

And cannot understand

that every single word you say means "goodbye"

I look without seeing

I listen without hearing

Grief catches me standing up silently

I am dreaming about the past

While the present is taking you away

And nothing has left for me

but shaking your hands

I would like to keep them

But our love is dead

Two steps from my heart

You are already far away

It's over, over, over, over, over, over, over

How can a happiness

Which held so much space

And gave so much joy

Disappear forever

Erasing from your life

Even the traces

of the smallest memory

That love has made for us

I do not know how to react

And I do not know what to say

I want to look strong

In the last time

With tears in the corner of the eyes

I force myself to smile

With a forced smile

Which cannot deceive you

Too coward to die

Although too afraid to live

I'm counting on forgetting

to find peace of mind

I'll have to get used to it

In the following years

To the days without your voice

To the night without your skin

It's over, over, over, over, over, over, over
