Pense à moi [English translation]

I would give my soul

to the child you wanted.

I would give my tears

to the stare you had.

I would give my flame

to the breath you bore1.

I would give my tears

to the battles that were our undoing.

I would give my soul

as the friend of your soul,

like a man

condemned by his love.

Who knows (if) there is nothing left to believe in

once hope is gone...

Think of me

as his stare lingers on you2.

Think of me

as his gestures hurt you.

Think of me

as his shadow leaves you.

Think of me

for as long as I have time remaining3.

Think of me

as the curtain falls.

Think of me

after too much weakness4

Think of me

so that my body stands straight

Think of me

Think of me

...away from you...

Think of me

I will let hours

run around your wrists.

I will leave several

of my nights at your bedstand.

I will leave the smell

of your skin closer still.

I will leave fear

fearing5 to be too close.

I will leave my heart

at the core of what you are.

And if I die out of it

it's because dying wanted it6

No matter if there is nothing left to believe in

once hope is gone...

Think of me

as his eyes stroke you...

1. does not make much sense in French either2. lit "his eyes stroke you"3. don't know what that means in French either4. still does not make sense in French5. could both mean "the fear is fearing" or "(me) being afraid"6. yes, it actually means "Mr dying wanted me to die".

I suggest you ask Johnny directly for an explanation
