L'un part l'autre reste [English translation]

Have they forgotten their promises?

At the least laugh, at the least gesture

Trueloves have no more address

When one goes away and the other stays

Is there any sin other than youth's?

Is there any past other than leaving nothing?

Trueloves are in distress

When one leaves and the other stays

Stay at your place

Age without me

Don't call me anymore

Erase me

Tear up my letters

And stay there

Tomorrow maybe

You will come back

Gesture of love and tenderness

Like two birds missing drunkenness

Trueloves have no more address

When one goes away and the other stays

Are they sorrowful as soon as they hurt you?

On the next day of clumsiness

Trueloves are in distress

When one leaves, and the other stays

Some sad farewells

So much illusions

If it's a game

It will be no

Give me my letters back

And stay there

Tomorrow maybe

You will understand

Some sad farewells

So much illusions

If it's a game

It will be no

Give me my letters back

And stay there

Tomorrow maybe

You will understand

They won't forget their promises

They will write to each other at the same addresses

Trueloves recognize each other

When one leaves and the other stays
