Avec le temps [English translation]

Avec le Temps

With the time

with the time everything goes away

we forget the face and we forget the voice

the heart when its not beating anymore , there is no reason to look further, you need to let go and it's just fine

with the time

with the time everything goes away

the other one that we have loved,that we`ve searched in the rain

the other one that we recognized on the corner with just one look

between the words, between the lines and under the make-up

with a made-up oath the night is going away

with the time everything disappears

with the time

with the time everything goes away

even the miraculous memories, they pull you a long face in the death gallery where i shop

every saturday evening when the tenderness is leaving me

with the time

with the time everything goes away

the other one in whom we believed for nothing and anything

the other one to whom we gave the wind & jewels, for whom we would have sold our soul for cents

the other one for whom we suffered like a dog

with the time everything leaves

with the time

with the time everything goes away

we forget the passion and the voice too

the voice which told you quietly the words of the poorest people

dont comeback too late, be careful not to get cold

with the time

with the time everything goes away

and we feel as white as a worn out horse

and we feel frozen like when in a stranger's bed

and we feel lonely perhaps but at peace

and we feel cheated for the lost ages - so truly

with the time we dont love any more
