Pour mieux t'aimer [English translation]

I will be the most tender, I will be able to prove to you

that I could bring myself to wait an eternity for you.

I could defend myself against an army

to better love you—to better love you.

I will learn every role, I will be at once

the happiest, the most amusing— I will have at times

the sadness of a weeping willow or merely its beauty

to better love you—to better love you.

I will be the same and different every day—

alternately loving and rejecting your love.

I will use caresses that have been forgotten—

I will be your mistress or your fiancée,

a courtesan or a princess as you wish

to better love you—to better love you.

I will be strong or weak but always just to win—

your faithful companion, your damned soul.

I will be everyone who has ever loved you

to better love you—to better love you.

And if you are God, I will perform miracles.

If you are the devil, I will choose your hell.

I will erase the memory of great lovers of the past:

Romeo and Juliet will be outdone.

I will invent poets to sing our praises

to better love you—to better love you.

And if I condemn myself, it is only to tame you.

If I abandon my body and soul to you—

it is very simply to be your wife.

I love you so—I love you so.

I love you so.

I love you so.

I love you so.
