J’ai peur [English translation]

I’m afraid

That you don’t love me as much as

I love you and that

your love may be just

A game

I am afraid

That an occasional lover

Appearing in your life one day

Will propose to your heart a new

Love

I can’t be magnanimous

I love you so much, I love you too much

Only jealousy leads me

I could be your torturer

But I am mainly your victim

Without saying a word

I am afraid

Like a child frozen with terror

Alone and trembling deep inside his cold bed

In a sordid orphanage

At night

I’m afraid

At all times I cannot do anything about it

And despite myself, I make you suffer

When I want to know where you are coming from

And where you are going to

I’m afraid

My heart can’t get grip on itself

Often worried, always jealous

Suspicious of you and me

Of everyone

You are all I have on my mind

You are the day and I am the night

I am not good looking you are perfect

I care about you more than my life

We are beauty and the beast

Reunited

I’m afraid

And if finally you leave me

I know that my heart will carry

The sorrow of those past years

Marked

By you
