Partis avant d'avoir tout dit [English translation]

They had their heart in blue

They had time, their entire lives ahead of them

But the lightning, the thunder destroyed

Their youth and their ideas

A sentence interrupted

This amazed laughter that we'll not hear anymore

Memories of the future, broken pen

They had priority

Left before having said everything

Left before having loved

Before having even finished

To begin

Left before having said everything

Left before having sung

Having done the tour of the years

Having made love

Having given everything

In her room where everything waits for him

He left this student courses

A photo somewhere

Last holidays

That tells you in silence:

Left before having said everything

Left before having loved

Having a life

To exist

Left before having said everything

Left before having sung

Having taken the life as she comes

Love friends, save friendship

The ink dries in the inkwell

Who has the courage to close it?

What remains without them, is still them

It burns you deep in your eyes

Left before having said everything

Left before having loved

Before having even finished

To begin

Left before having said everything

Left before having sung

Having done the tour of the years

Having made love

Having given everything

Left before having said everything

Left before having sung

Before having written

What they were

Left before having said everything

Left before having sung

Having done the tour of the years

Having made love

Having given everything

Left before having said everything

Left before having loved

Before having written

What they wanted
