Nous les amoureux [English translation]

We, the lovers – they want to separate us

They would like to prevent us from being happy

We, the lovers – it seems that it’s hell

That watches us or else the iron and the fire

It’s true, the idiots and the evil ones

Harm us, do bad things to us

However nothing is more obvious than love

We, the lovers, we can do nothing against them

They are a thousand and we are two, the lovers

But the hour is going to ring on the least difficult nights

And I could love you without them talking about it downtown

It’s promised, it’s written down

We, the lovers – the sun shines for us

And we sleep on the knees of the Good Lord

We, the lovers – He gave us the right

To be happy and to be joyful together

Then, the without-loves, the mis-loved

It will be necessary that we pay back

Those who have never been condemned

We, the lovers, we’re going to live without you

For the sky is with us, the lovers
