Comment te dire adieu ? [English translation]

On any account would I want

To have unfortunate reflexes

You must explain a little better to me

How to bid you farewell

My flint heart catches fast on fire

Your pyrex heart is fireproof

I am quite puzzled, I do no want

To resign myself to farewells

I do knwo that an ex-love

Doesn't stand any chance, or so few

But for me

An explanation would be better

On any account would I want

To overexpose my eyes in front of you

Hidden behind a Kleenex, I'd know better

How to bid your farewell

How to bid your farewell

You blacklisted

Our sleepless nights

Our blue-grey mornings

But for me

An explanation would be better

On any account would I want

To overexpose my eyes in front of you

Hidden behind a Kleenex, I'd know better

How to bid your farewell

How to bid your farewell

How to bid your farewell
