Puisque tu pars [English translation]

Since the shadow is winning ( is gaining ground)

Since there is no moutain beyond the winds higher than the stairs of oblivion

Since we must learn

For lack of understanding

To dream our desires, and live off of "so be it"'s

And since you think

Since you're utterly convinced

That sometimes, even giving everything is not enough

Since it's elsewhere

That your heart will beat better

And since we love you too much to hold you back

Since you are leaving

May the winds take you

Where other souls, more beautiful, will know how to love you better than we can

Since we cannot love you more

May life teach you,

But may you remain the same

For if you betray yourself

Then we would have lost you for good

Keep this gift

That we silently envied you for

That strength to think that the best is still to come

And far from our cities

As October is from April

Know that here remains an indelible imprint of you

No fuss, no tear

Those are poor and derisory weapons

Because there are pains that only cry inside

Since today

Your home is the horizon

In your exile try to learn how to come back

And not too late...

Chorus:

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Chorus:

In your life-story

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Since you are leaving

(In your life-story)

(In your life-story)

I could have closed

(Keep in your memory)

(Keep in your memory)

Forgotten all these doors

(Our goodbye)

(Our goodbye)

Abandoned everything ((on the spot))

(Since you are leaving)

(Since you are leaving)

But you did not do it

(In your life-story)

(In your life-story)

I could have given

(Keep in your memory)

(Keep in your memory)

So much love and so much strength

(Our goodbye)

(Our goodbye)

But all I could give

(Since you are leaving)

(Since you are leaving)

Was still not enough

(In your life-story)

Not enough

(In your life-story)

(Keep in your memory)

Not enough

(Keep in your memory)

Not enough

(Our goodbye)

(Our goodbye)

Eeeeeh

(Since you are leaving)

(Since you are leaving)

Not enough

Chorus:

In your life-story

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Since you are leaving

In your life-story

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Since you are leaving

In your life-story

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Since you are leaving

In your life-story

In your life-story

Keep in your memory

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Since you are leaving
