Après toi [English translation]

You are going away

Love will be for you the smile of another,

And you will forget me.

I want to hate you but it isn’t your fault.

Yet you ought to know.

That after you I will be haunted by your memory,

I will live with my tears, my empty arms and a joyless heart

With you, I learned to laugh but my happiness depended on you.

After you I am only a shadow of my former self.

Even if I go on with life,

And one day find another.

Even if I pledge to stay with him

I will only be able to give him affection

Not my love.

After you I will be haunted by your memory,

I will live with my tears, my empty arms and a joyless heart

With you, I learned to laugh but my happiness depended on you.

After you I am only a shadow of my former self.
