Ma Meilleure [English translation]

Even when there's no more hope

I never stop thinking

that things will get better

Lost in the fog

We can't see each other any more

My love isn't afraid

I'll love you forever.

My heart has spoken

But I have no more pride

Like two convicts

We will find each other

Before the last hour.

You're my best, you're my best

Years pass but I have kept the best.

You're my best, you're my best

Storms pass and tomorrow will be better.

(x2)

36 months that I remember

When I look back

I worked evenings at BP

She was a cashier

And I came to collect here

In my old Siat Ibiza

I remember us clubbing together

To share a pizza

I had nothing in my pockets

Our hearts were rich

And to buy myself tabs (cigarettes)

I used to bug my sisters for money

We used to meet at the bus stop

To talk for hours on end

In the evening, I walked home

No more petrol, inspectors

I wanted to reach the stars

You had your feet on the ground

I wanted to make loads of cash

You just wanted to be a mother

We said "I love you"

300 times a day by text

Why dined by candelight

With 2-3 lunch vouchers

My trains were holey

Your tights had ladders in them

Our story was sincere

Our relationship was stylish

Another sleepless night

Thinking about our story again

Tonight my heart is talking

It's not a rumour.

Even when there's no more hope

I never stop thinking

that things will get better

Lost in the fog

We can't see each other any more

My love isn't afraid

My heart has spoken

I'll love you forever

But I have no more pride

Like two convicts

We will find each other

Before the last hour.

You're my best, you're my best

Years pass but I keep the best

You're my best, you're my best

Storms pass and tomorrow will be better.

(x2)

Now the chores chain me down

And loyal friends

Are as rare as "I love you"

We drive a big car

We never stop working hard

We pass by the bus stop

But we have nothing to say to each other any more

Forgive me for all the promises

I never kept

Love has its reasons

Time has made us into strangers

One day you walk out

The next I'm your love

Despite the storm of storms

I love you like I did on the first day

You wrote me letters when I was in prison

But I hardly ever replied

Was I economising paper,

or being greedy with my emotions?

I did things a lot of I shouldn't have,

you often made mistakes

But I want to put the pieces back together

Because you are still my best

We had everything we needed to be happy,

but it wasn't enough to be happy

And if money is king

Emotions are no longer the masters

Another sleepless night

Thinking about our story

Tonight my heart is talking

It isn't a rumour.

Even when there's no more hope

I never stop thinking

that it will get better

Lost in the fog

We can't see each other any more

My love isn't afraid

I'll love you forever

My heart has spoken

But I have no more pride

Like two convicts

We will find each other

Before the last hour

You're my best, you're my best

Years pass but I have kept the best

You're my best, you're my best

Storms pass and tomorrow will be better.

(x2)

I have put on your path

A few hidden words

This ray of sun sunshine

Which might replace

The mistakes of the night before

The regrets of the past

And I'll give you enough

For a perfect life.

Even when there's no more hope

I never stop thinking

that things will get better

Lost in the fog

We can't see each other any more

My love isn't afraid

I'll love you forever

My heart has spoken

But I have no more pride

Like two convicts

We will find each other

Before the last hour.

You're my best, you're my best

Years pass but I have kept the best.

You're my best, you're my best

Storms pass and tomorrow will be better.
