Comment te dire adieu ? [English translation]

Under no circumstances would I want

To come out of this worse than before

You've got to explain it a bit better to me

How to say goodbye

My flint heart quickly catches alight

Your pyrex heart is fireproof

I'm all lost, I don't want

To bring myself to say goodbye

I do know that an old love

Has little, if not any luck

But to me

An explanation is worth more

Under no circumstances would I want

To expose my eyes before you

Behind a Kleenex, I'd know better

How to say goodbye

How to say goodbye

You had forbidden

Our sleepless nights

Our grey-blue mornings

But to me

An explanation is worth more

Under no circumstances would I want

To expose my eyes before you

Behind a Kleenex, I'd know better

How to say goodbye

How to say goodbye
