Puisque tu pars [English translation]

Since the shadow is winning

Since it's not mountains

On the other side of the stronger winds than the marches of oblivion

Since it's necessary to learn

Failing to understand

To dream and live our desires, so be it

And since you think

Like intimate evidence

That, sometimes even when all is given, hasn't necessarily suffered

Since its somewhere else

That your heart may beat better

And since we love you too much to hold you back

Since you are leaving

May the winds bring you

Where there are other beautiful souls

That will know how to love you better than us

Since we can't love you any more

May life teach you

But may you stay the same

If you had betrayed yourself, we would have completely lost you

Guard this luck

May we be envious of your strength in silence

Your strength to think that the best is yet to come

And far from our cities

Like October is to April

Know that you remain here like a permanent imprint

Without drama, without tears

Poor and ridiculous weapons

Because there are pains that only cry from within

Since your house

Today, is the horizon

In your exile try to learn how to come back

But not too late...

In your story,

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

In your story,

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

I will have been able to close, to forget all of these doors

All left in a simple movement but you didn't do it

I will have been able to give so much love and so much strength

But all that I could, that still wasn't enough

Not enough...

In your story,

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

In your story,

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

In your story,

Keep in your memory

Our goodbye

Since you are leaving

Since you are leaving...
