Ne reviens pas mon amour [English translation]

Why should the first love always be

the one that you never forget?

And if you left one day,

my heart would always want to shout out your name.

Since you are far away,

how can I still know if I have hope?

And who could tell me as well

how many times I saw myself crying for you?

Do not return, my love.

Do not come back.

And even if I have to keep to myself

all of the regrets and so many memories,

I do not want to start over

because you do not know what I might have suffered.

And if you believed that my life

could only really end next to you,

why did not you ever tell me

for a single time that you loved no one but me?

Do not return, my love.

Do not come back.

And I would rather not see you again.

I will not be able to live as I once did.

Do not try to gloss it over.

Our future will evaporate with time.

But the first love

will always be the one that you never forget.

And if you left one day,

my heart would always want to shout out your name.

Do not return, my love.

Do not come back.

Do not return, my love.

Do not come back.
