La nuit est sur la ville [English translation]

Night lies over the town

Close to me the calm one

He who is waiting is there

Far away in another town

You who I love so much

What are you doing now?

I was always so sure about us

So credulous about everything

But right now

Everything seems fragile to me

It would be easy

Me and him now

Far from you, bored

All alone so many nights

Why, why

Is everything pushing me towards him

Everything in me forgets about you in a sudden

Why, why?

Day lies over the town

In this other town

Are you sleeping alone, carefree?

Nothing is really easy

Nevertheless I still believe

That I truly love you

Yes, I truly love you
