Une vie d'amour [English translation]

A life of love

That we vowed to each other

And that the time mutilated

Day after day

Wounds my thoughts

So many words of love

In our hearts suffocated

In a sobbing, the moment of a kiss,

They stayed deaf

To everything, but they couldn't change anything.

Because a "see you"

Can't be a farewell

And crazy of hope

I only count on God

To see you again

And to speak with you again

And to swear with you again

A life of love

Filled with clear laughters

An only way

Tearing our hells

Going farther

Than the night

The night of nights

A life of love

That we vowed to each other

And that the time mutilated

Day after day

Wounds my thoughts

So many words of love

That our hearts shouted

The shaked wirds, the underlined tears

The last hope

The disharmonised joys

From the blossomed dawns

To the grey vespers

Everything leaves, everything dies

But the flame survives

In the heat

Of an immortal summer

Of an eternal summer

A life of love

A life to love each other

Blindly

Until the last breath

Good year, bad year

My love

To love you again

And forever.
