Dire [English translation]

More than anything,

that's the way you wanted to love her.

Nothing but us,

that's what you said to make her dream.

After all,

lying to her did you no good.

Now you're all alone, your heart off its stride

She had sworn

sweetness, tenderness forever.

Out of love,

she had given herself

as she truly was.

She wanted to love you,

they frightened you,

these overdoses of happiness.

To say that

now it's your turn to realize

that living without her is hell every day.

Now that you're free, you find oyurself hating everything,

even this freedom.

You feel yourself trapped.

To say that

regrets could kill you.

Even worse, you blame yourself for not having loved properly.

To say everything seemed so perfect.

You would like to run, catch up with her.

And to say also that

her breathtaking eyes

throb vividly

in your black and white dreams.

To live while everything brightens up too late.

To live vividly as if there was some hope left.
