Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais [English translation]

I came to tell you that I'm going away

And your tears can't do anything about it

As said well by Verlaine 'on an ill wind'

I came to tell you that I'm going away

You remember the old days and you cry

You suffocate, you turn pale now the time's come

Farewell forever

Yeah I'm in regret

For telling you I'm going away

Yes I loved you, yes but

I came to tell you that I'm going away

Your sobs can't do anything about it

As said well by Verlaine 'on an ill wind'

I came to tell you that I'm going away

You remember the old days and you cry

You suffocate, you turn pale now the time's come

Farewell forever

Yeah I'm in regret

For telling you I'm going away

As you've been with me through everything

I came to tell you that I'm going away

And your tears can't do anything about it

As said well by Verlaine 'on an ill wind'

I came to tell you that I'm going away

You remember the old days and you cry

You suffocate, you turn pale now the time's come

Farewell forever

Yeah I'm in regret

For telling you I'm going away

Yes I loved you, yes but

I came to tell you that I'm going away

Your sobs can't do anything about it

As said well by Verlaine 'on an ill wind'

I came to tell you that I'm going away

You remember the old days and you cry

You suffocate, you turn pale now the time's come

Farewell forever

Yeah I'm in regret

For telling you I'm going away

As you've been with me through everything
