Partir Quand Même [English translation]

Leave all the same

Leave all the same

while he sleeps on

while he is dreaming

while there’s still time yet for…

Leave all the same

while feeling strong

break free the chains

that bind me to his fate

that would will my own fall

a flower on the wall

Leave all the same

before he dreams

of clipping my wings

and so tame my fierce pride

Leave all the same

Be first to go

Exit the stage

with all the strength I’ve got

before saying “I love you”

before the trap clamps down to…

Leave all the same

A sovereign

of his games

and of my intrigues

Disappear

from his sight

Leaving not a trace

Before I can no longer

retrace my reckless steps

Before it is too late

To avoid any warring

before saying I love you

Know to leave all the same
