Adieu tristesse [English translation]

I’m leaving, leaving, my friend

I’m going to leave and live my life

In the other direction

I’m going to sow the seed of doubt and go on my way again

And go on my way again

I’ve loved you so much, my friend

I’ve loved you so much that you made your nest in my life

I’m going to fly away all the same

So long, sadness, it’s time I left you

I’ve let so many tears run, so many tears run

That I let the boat capsize,

Wounded and washed away by the waves, by the waves

Yes, I’ve let my laughter drown

I’m leaving

I’m going to dry my tears, my tears

Yes, I’m going far away from you, my sorrow

If I leave, it means the storm has passed, the storm has passed

It means I know that happiness is worth it

I’m leaving, my fine foe

I’m going to leave and live my life

In the other direction

You sowed the seed of doubt and I strayed from the path

And I strayed from the path

I’ve given you so much, given you all my woes

I’ve been dragging myself along for so many years

You as my sentence, I’m escaping all the same

So long, sadness, it’s time I left you

I’ve thrown away so many dreams, so many dreams

I’ve let you inflict all this pain on me

And the icy wind and the winters came and went, came and went

Then tore up my sails

I’m leaving, I’m going to set sail from the harbour

Yes, I’m going far away from you, my sorrow

If I leave, it means the dream isn’t dead

It means I know that happiness is worth it

I’m leaving, leaving, my friend

I’m going to leave and live my life

The wind has changed, it has sown the seed of hatred

We have forgotten that we love each other

We have forgotten that we love each other

I’m going to scatter my sorrows to the winds, to the winds

As long as the time is right, I’m going to teach self-love to the child I leave behind

So long, sadness, it’s time you left us

At least allow me the time to try, the time to try

Yes, give me one more chance

Oh yes, at least allow me the time to find, the time to find

The tiny trace of myself that will save me

I’m leaving, I’m clearing off once more

Yes, I’m going far away from you, my sorrow

Far from the cruel, cold and harsh winds

Because I’m certain that happiness is worth it

Yes, I’m leaving, I want to find the calm, the calm

Yes, far from you where I’ll be at peace

And I am the beacon, all I must do is let myself be guided

I have to believe that happiness is worth it

Yes, I’m leaving, finding the calm, the calm

Yes, far from you where I’ll be at peace

And I am the beacon, all I must do is let myself be guided

I have to believe that happiness is worth it
