Nous étions amies [English translation]

We were friends, and you remember

We were telling each other everything, our joy, our sorrow

It didn't ever had to change one day

Oh, oh to change one day

We were friends, but you wanted

To take from me what I love the most in the world

You know as good as me, you didn't had to

Oh no, you didn't had to

You go away and all the joy has left my heart

Because you love the one who loved me

Because I am your misfortune

We were friends, since such long time ago

Only, today, everything is different

We didn't ever had to grow

Oh, oh to grow

You go away and all the joy has left my heart

Because you love the one who loved me

Because I am your misfortune

We were friends, and often we said

That nothing will truly break us apart

When will we become the friends that we were before?

Oh, oh, the friends we were before

Oh, oh, the friends we were before

Oh, oh, the friends we were before
