Elle m'a aimé [English translation]

I think I was too scared,

to say goodbye to her eye to eye.

Left without even taking luggage,

Thinking to do what was best.

I always had that same dream,

I see myself back in time.

Going back to out most beautiful walks,

Both of us on the docks, our eyes on the horizon.

She loved me,

With all her love, with all her heart.

She gave me,

All she had when I was nothing.

What did I give her in return?

I didn't cause but sorrow.

She who didn't dream but of love,

I had her heart in my hands.

Bitter-tasting memories,

Caress my most sensitive doubts.

Knowing that my actions of yesterday,

Rest forever irreversible.

I know that I wasn't for her,

Why did I miss her so much?

I think back till I get sick,

And every night I hope,

To find the reason.

She loved me,

With all her love, with all her heart.

She gave me,

All she had when I was nothing.

What did I give her in return?

I didn't cause but sorrow.

She who didn't dream but of love,

I had her heart in my hands.

I saw her again two years later,

Hand in hand with a pretty little girl.

I understood that it was too late.

In those eyes the light that shines.

She told me she had the same dream.

Going back to our most beautiful walks,

Hoping that I would one day return home.

She loved me,

With all her love, with all her heart.

She gave me,

All she had when I was nothing.

What did I give her in return?

I didn't cause but sorrow.

She who didn't dream but of love,

I had her heart in my hands.
