Sans vouloir te commander [English translation]

Without wanting to force you1

Come sit down right beside me

In the dark-ness come find me

Right on time2

Without wanting to force you

Say no more, till tomorrow

It is late to find reasons

To argue

You will come back to thank me

Some time later3

You will come back asking for more

You will come back to thank me

You will come back asking for more

Without wanting to force you

Come to me: I will help you

To believe, your memory

To erase4

Let's try for our paths to cross

At some point between start and

Arrival5

You will come back to thank me

Some time later3

You will come back asking for more

Without wanting to force you

In the dark-ness come find me

In view of both of our healths

In the dark-ness come find me

You will come back to thank me

Some time later3

You will come back asking for more
