Le monde tourne sans toi [English translation]

It would require that I stop

Saying that I will stop

It would require that I permit

The void to come live inside me

It would require that I learn

To count how many times I've said

That there was nothing left

And how many times I've lied to myself

The world turns without you

And more I play

And more I lose

I would like so much to fall over

Fall over

It would require that your mouth

Not be my only reason

And that avoiding the issue

Not be my single reaction

It would require that I flood myself

With somber colours your memories

And that I tell everyone

That you're no longer there

But I know not how to say it

It would require that I come back

When I leave to get lost in your sheets

It would require that I remember

How not to want you

It would require that I trace

The routes that I never dared

It would require that I erase

All those that we had drawn

The world turns without you

And more I play

And more I lose

I would like so much to fall over

The world turns without you

And more I play

And more I lose

And the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

And the world and the world turns without you

It would require that your mouth

Not be my only reason

The world turns without you

And more I play

And more I lose

And the world turns without you
