C'était bien la dernière chose [English translation]

Is not happiness in this world

nothing more than to love, nothing more than to smoke?

Do you not have a deep instinct

to love yourself, to love yourself?

Do not leave without love.

In the street, it will be daytime.

I was wrong very often, I know it.

Will you ever forgive me

if I hurt you?

It was the last thing I wanted.

I only have tears to defend myself

in your eyes—in your eyes.

I could have loved you better

and made you happier—happier.

Do not leave without love.

In the street, it will be daytime.

I was wrong very often, I know it.

Will you ever forgive me

if I hurt you?

It was the last thing I wanted.

You are going to forget our story

for a long time—for a very long time.

But time can remember nothing

forever—forever.

Do not leave—do not leave.

In the street, it will be daytime.

My love, if you ever left,

I would suffer far too much—

but if you forgive me—

that would be the most beautiful thing that could happen to me

That would be the most beautiful thing that could happen to me.

That would be the most beautiful thing that could happen to me.
