Je voudrais tant que tu sois là [English translation]

I so wish you were here

To tell you my loneliness

To tell you my weariness

Knowing you're so far away

I so wish you were here

To tell you about my hopes

And the price that I pay ahead

To have you one day to myself

In my desert there are no flowers

No oasis and no wind

If you visited more often

How much it would soothe my heart

My poor heart

I so wish you were here

To wake up my faded flowers

Your absence like a complaint

Always speaks about you

I so wish you were here

On the hours when the clouds pass

You would expand my space

Just having you snuggle with me

In my desert there are no flowers

No oasis and no wind

If you visited more often

You would understand why I'm scared

Because I'm scared

I so wish you were here

To shed some red on my roses

So my words would serve a purpose

That I wail in half voice

I so wish you were here

To share the closed bedroom

Where our future together rests

Until you're here

And in this limited universe

Where all is void and disappointing

I could finally feel alive

Close to you for whom I was born

You, who don't love me... enough
