Auprès d'un autre [English translation]

I bend beneath the weight

Of the persisting pain

Which crushes my soul without mercy.

I pray without faith

For time to erase

This rage which gnaws at my mind.

How do you feel hatred

For a being whom you love

More strongly than yourself?

Must you throw into the flames

All the lies and the infamies

Which hurt, hurt, hurt?

My God, make it that one day I'll forgive her

Because it was her who made a man of me

I want to believe that I'm to blame

If tonight, she sleeps beside someone else.

I bend beneath the weight

Of my armour of ice

That burns my body without rest.

The echo of her voice,

Like an insatiable bite,

Devours me endlessly.

How do you feel hatred

For a being whom you love

More strongly than yourself?

Find the strength to banish

The past, the memories

Which hurt, hurt, hurt?

My God, make it that one day I'll forgive her

Because it was her who made a man of me

I want to believe that I'm to blame

If tonight, she sleeps beside someone else.

The night, the emptiness and absence,

Boredom, missing and forgetting.

To my cries, your silence answers.

So, I cry and I pray.

My God, make it that one day I'll forgive her

Because it was her who made a man of me

My God, make it that one day I'll forgive her

Because it was her who made a man of me

I want to believe that I'm to blame

If tonight, she sleeps beside someone else.
