On s'en remet jamais [English translation]

Can the voice we once loved so much

One day end up hushed

Can all the things we failed to do

Fade away with time

Did everything we promise each other

Get lost in a desert

Is it only dust that remains of it

Once love is absent

Do you think we get over it

We live with it, we pretend

We may never get over it

We never really get over it

We never really get over it

It’s a deep-seated wound

The icy coldness of the knife

All this echoing silence

I dream of drinking from your words

You’re not so far away, not so high

Will the light return

Will we get some sleep once again

Will there be another sun

Someone else who will be special

Do you think that one forgets

How long it takes

How many nights to unlearn

The tossing and turning in bed

Do you think we will get over it

We live with it, we pretend

Maybe we will never get over it

We never really get over it

We never really get over it

It’s a deep-rooted wound

The icy coldness of the knife

All this echoing silence

I dream of drinking from your words

You had very high standards

I have so much of you under my skin

But I’m an orphan of your words, your words, your words

I still hear your voice resounding

I have all of you in my skin

We never really get over it

We never really get over it

We never really get over it

Not really, not really

Do the fragrances turn into vapor

Or are they still in our heads

Like the stars that still shine

But are quite far from the feast

The steps we engraved in the snow

Have gone away with the spring

Do our memories protect us

Are they carried away by time

Carried away by time
