Je m'attendais pas à toi [English translation]

I used to talk about love

Like one would talk about the weather

Without having seen it for real

Without really knowing it

I used to think of it like one dreams

I used to dream of it without believing in it

Between these hearts on strike

And these stories just for see

I hadn't expected you

I hadn't expected that

I hadn't expected me

To play this role

I hadn't expected me to read

Something else that my book

I hadn't expected me to live

Over my own lines

In this crowd of lonely people

All these lives brushing against each other

All these bodies bearing a grudge against each other

These pains with no shoulder to lean on

We breathe in the sea air

The time air , innocently

We all want to put to sea

Nobody knows the way

I hadn't expected you

I hadn't expected that

I hadn't expected me

To play this role

I hadn't expected me to read

Something else that my book

I hadn't expected me to live

Over my own lines

And then I saw your face

A clown with bright eyes

Pains in celebrations

And your blushing smile

So strong for being fragile

Your fears in the night

The princesses I've read about

Were less odd

I hadn't expected you

I hadn't expected that

I hadn't expected me

To play this role

I used to run with no light

Toward a dawn running away

Wherever there's love

It's never dark

I hadn't expected you

I hadn't expected me

To play this role

And the journey was beautiful

From my dreams to my life

Crispy laces

New curtains , new bed

I've asked thousands of questions

To my heart , to my mind

I gave up the old bachelor

In the midst of his 'maybe'

All these days are no longer the same

All these perfect mornings

When your eyes wake me up

In a laughter , in a secret

I hadn't expected that
