L'amour s'en va [English translation]

Love is leaving

And yours probably won't last

Just like the others

Someday, you're going to leave me

If it isn't you

It is me who will leave

Love is leaving

And we won't be able to do anything about it

Because you, too,

Are going to tell me a thousand 'always'

And I, too,

Will say them back to you

Love is leaving

I escape you when you go after me

Or maybe it's me

Who refuses to believe that everything is over

And every time

Always, we must admit it to ourselves

Love is leaving

But ceaselessly, we run after it

• Artist:Françoise Hardy
