Et l'amour s'en va [English translation]

A summer rain in the beginning of the morning

And in the old town where it is already tomorrow

A day will begin and I feel lost,

Like a broken toy that you have too much seen,

That your big child eyes do not want anymore.

And love is here, and love goes away.

You leave with it, it dies with me.

You may pray, you may cry,

Love forgets you, how can you forget it ?

It is useless to worn out your heart

Looking for a hand that is reaching out elsewhere,

To keep high your head out of water

When you are already so far from the boat.

And love is here, and love goes away

Like a hurricane that cannot be stopped.

Like a crazy horse running anywhere

Trampling time, caring about nothing.

We passed the birds flight

We crashed, our hearts in pieces.

In the mad dancing circle of the flying days

Love was here and love goes away

And in the old town that has so much seen

An indifferent world is pretending to exist

But I well know it is lying

Since you decided it

It has broken, life has stopped.

And love is here, and love goes away.

You leave with it, it dies with me.

You may pray, you may cry,

Love forgets you, how can you forget it ?

It is useless to worn out your heart

Looking for a hand that is reaching out elsewhere,

To keep high your head out of water

When you are already so far from the boat.

And love is here, and love goes away

Like a hurricane that cannot be stopped.

Like a crazy horse running anywhere

Trampling time, caring about nothing.

We passed the birds flight

We crashed, our hearts in pieces.

In the mad dancing circle of the flying days

Love was here and love goes away

And love goes away...

Love goes away...
