Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai [English translation]

My naked child on the pebbles

The wind in your undone hair

Like spring in my path

A diamond fallen from inside a box

Only the light could

Unravel our hidden secrets

Where my fingers held on to your wrists

I loved you, I love you, and I will love you

And whatever you do

Love is everywhere you look

In every corner of space

In every dream you’re in

Love like a pouring rain

Naked on the pebbles

The sky pretends to know you

It’s so beautiful it must be true

It will never approach

I saw it caught in your nets

The world is filled with regrets

So many empty promises

The one I was made for

I loved you, I love you, and I will love you

And whatever you do

Love is everywhere you look

In every corner of space

In every dream you’re in

Love like a pouring rain

Naked on the pebbles

We’ll take off from the same place

Eyes in the same reflections

In this life and the one after

You will be my only plan

I’ll hang your portraits

On all the ceilings of all the palaces

On every wall I find

And just below, I will write

That only the light could…

And my fingers held on to your wrists

I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
