Pour te dire je t'aime [English translation]

No song, no season,

no violin would have the charm of this moment,

no memories, no desire,

no pleasure would be as great1

as seeing you again inside my story,

in this mirror where we were lovers once,

our evenings of fun, our poet hearts

were meant to write the pages of a novel.

    To tell you that I love you like before

   I could burn an ocean,

   to tell you that I love you right now

   I could walk over the volcano

I leave Christmas to Santa Claus,

the new year will find us no less

torn apart, divided

from break ups to cries of an amazing love2.

No trip, no face,

no cloud could make me cry as much,

but I must say no smile

could make me suffer from love so tenderly.

    To tell you that I love you like before

   I could burn an ocean,

   to tell you that I love you right now

   I could walk over the volcano

    To tell you that I love you like before

   I could burn an ocean,

   to tell you that I love you right now

   I could walk over the volcano

Over the volcano, the volcano...
