Je me suis trompée [English translation]

I was wrong about you

You're not the one that I think (you are)

I was wrong about you

wrong about the law, [wrong] about the king

wrong about (my) love(r)

[wrong] about the hour, [wrong] about the day

It's no longer the same fire

[It's] no longer the same place

Is it still the two of us

that I come across at night

in the desert of a large bed

Is it you and me

that couple there

that I see in the morning

in a darkening mirror (lit.: a mirror that extinguishes itself)

Two frozen images, as if erased

All gestures are there

Similar to those we made

And all words are really those that we said

But the same melody no longer has the same magic

It is as if we sell rain

Come blow [upon] the end of a summer (I'm not sure what is meant here, but I think the image of blowing out a cancle is conjured)

Is this still the two of us

that couple there that have nothing more to say [to each other]

that no long know how to suffer

I was wrong about you

[wrong] about us, [wrong] about everything

The curtain falls (in fact it says: has just fallen)

and the prayer has ended

It is time that I go back home

I was mistaken, mistaken about you.
