Tout s'efface [English translation]

I will wait for you on the corner

At the time when the lights go out

When you'll have danced to much, drunk to much

At the time where there will be only

My arm to rest your sorrow,

We'll leave together again

You'll embarrass me the way I hate,

With this tenderness you put so well

Between you and me

Of course that time has passed,

That our story is over...

Maybe, but maybe not for me

Even if I know that everything fades

You stay there and nothing passes...

You like me, I like everything about you

The difference is called love

Tree time around the periphery, window open

I see what we could have been

Yes, I'm mad at you, but less than at myself

And why did you call me back

Why come back to get me

To see you laugh, to see you cry without me...

You don't want me, you don't want to lose me,

So this choice, I'm making it for you

I'm the one who leaves

Even if I know that everything fades

You stay there and nothing passes...

You like me, I like everything about you

The difference is called love

Even if I know that everything fades

You said it, to each its own place...

You like me, I like everything about you

The difference is called love

Let me come from time to time

Le me tell you it's just like it was...

Let me leave, even if I'm lying

Let me tell myself that with time...

Even if I know...
