J'ai tout oublié [English translation]

Not far from here, I live, maybe it's somewhere else

I don't recognise my life any more, sometimes I frighten myself

I live in a world which does not exist

Without you, I am no longer quite me

Not far from here, I lost what I was

My name means nothing to me, nor the photo on my papers

They might as well call me such and such

Without you, it doesn't matter who names me

How does one say "Hello"? I no longer know

The perfume of the good days, I smell it no more

How does one make love? If only I kmew

I forgot everything, when you forgot me

The sweet velvet words, I cry them no more

And my sense of humour, I lost it

How does one make love? If only I knew

I forgot everything, when you forgot me

Not far from here, I decided to come back

To put a little order to my thoughts, refresh them

I cut my hair, I levelled the walls

What I did, I'm not so sure

How does one say "Hello"? I no longer know

The perfume of the good days, I smell it no more

How does one make love? If only I knew

I forgot everything, when you forgot me

The sweet velvet words, I cry them no more

And my sense of humour, I lost it

How does one make love? If only I knew
