Ne lis pas cette lettre [English translation]

La la la la la ...

I waited for you until midnight.

But hell, what could you be doing?

At midnight, furious, I wrote to you

at a moment of great anger.

Absolutely do not read that letter.

Absolutely, absolutely do not read

all that I put down in there.

No, I was not thinking.

My letter posted immediately.

I saw the error of my deed.

Words fade away with time.

On the other hand, written words last.

Absolutely do not read that letter.

Absolutely, absolutely do not read

all that I put down in there.

No, I was not thinking.

= = =

Absolutely do not read that letter.

Absolutely, absolutely do not read

all that I put down in there.

No, I was not thinking.

You might figure out by reading it

that I at last love you

even more impossibly than before—

if you read it anyway.

Absolutely do not read that letter

in order to prevent me from crying.

You have to—you have to promise me

that you're going to tear it up.

So, as to this adventure,

we will talk about it with a laugh.

And everything, and everything I swear to you

will return to what it was.

So, as to this adventure,

we will talk about it with a laugh.

And everything, and everything I swear to you

will return to what it was.

La la la la la ...
