Parce qu'on m'a dit [English translation]

Indeed, I've made mistakes

out of carelessness or fear,

but who hasn't?

Who has no regrets?

Nevertheless, I've chosen my path,

gone through doubts sometimes

but I haven't taken the time

for what's most important.

'Cause they've told me

many things about you.

'Cause they've told me

I would bite my fingers off.

That I should open my eyes.

That I'd feel better without you.

I've done what they've told me.

All these people surrounding you

with their constant beautiful speeches,

they tell you to give them your hand,

of course, for your own good.

A moment of carelessness

and they were right in the end.

So, without coming back,

I'm trying to forget

'Cause they've told me

many things about you.

'Cause they've told me

I would bite my fingers off.

That I should open my eyes.

That I'd feel better without you.

I've done what they've told me.

Is this the price to pay?

Getting it wrong one day

each on their own

with the same remorse?

'Cause they've told you

many things about me.

'Cause they've told you

you would bite your fingers off.

That you needed to open your eyes.

That you'd feel better without me!

'Cause they've told me

many things about you.

'Cause they've told me

I would bite my fingers off.

That I should open my eyes.

That I'd feel better without you.

I've done what they've told me.
