Non je n'ai pas oublié [English translation]

Crushed under the sunshine,the white town

where, one day, I was born.

The sloping streets , the bridge on the Rummel

the gardens full of orange trees.

(Chorus:)

No, I haven't forgotten

even if my life has changed

but silence is often a way to love

no, no, no, no, I haven't forgotten

All these sad faces

but no one has the right to sacrifice

present for past.

The street that sings , the summer that has come

hasn't forgotten the cold winter

and the wounds that no one can see anymore

Still hurt him a lot

So much hope suddenly blowen away

by a wind of madness

So much innocence suddenly stunned

to beg for a reprieve.

(Back to the chorus)

When a storm darkens the sky

The rain has to fall

before the sun can be found.

The desire to love life,

All these links which have plaited

the chain that kept the ship

all these broken links

have left our cradles on the wharf

No I haven't forgotten

even if my life has changed

but the silence often is a way to love.

No, no, no, no, I haven't forgotten

And I'll never forget.

But now you and I cannot change anything

No, no, no, no, I haven't forgotten

And I'll never forget,

But now you and I cannot change anything

No, no, no, no...
