Les amours impossibles [English translation]

We carry them with us

From the depth of childhood

A secret, an agitation,

A tender hope

We carry them in our heart

Without being able to speak about them

Those strange happiness’s

That we'll never live

The impossible loves

Forever vanished

The impossible loves

Forever forbidden

The impossible loves

Outside of life

The impossible loves

Come back to us without noise

In the heart of summer

At the bend of a glance

In an insane dream

On the platform of a station

A face you get a glimpse of

A few exchanged words

A moment nothing more

We have met them

The impossible loves

Forever vanished

The impossible loves

Forever forbidden

The impossible loves

Outside of life

The impossible loves

Come back to us without noise

You know it well

That pinch of the heart

That desire, that need

Of something, of elsewhere

This call to destiny

That we could not understand

Which leaves you in the morning

With a taste of ashes

The impossible loves

Forever vanished

The impossible loves

Forever forbidden

The impossible loves

Coming from the bottom of the nights

The impossible loves

Are truer than life
