Tu vas me quitter [English translation]

I tatooed my skin with a 'loving you' ink,

I tatooed the lie to hide the truth.

Ripped wings off birds to keep you,

Tracked high tides to come and get you.

Refrain

You're going to leave me, I know it,

You're going to leave me, I know it.

And on the walls of my distress,

my desire for you stays carved in

You're going to leave me, I know it,

You're going to leave me, I know it,

But you should understand

that your farewell runs in my veins.

I confessed my fault on glossy paper,

Guilty in a way to be wounded by you.

I tried to chase the other away, under the wind of my secrets

But you use without mistake love at past tense,

Misjudged by your laws, without appeal or regrets,

I learned under your fingers the pain of convicts.

Refrain

You're going to leave me, I know it,

You're going to leave me, I know it.

But you should understand

that your farewell runs in my veins.

You're going to leave me, I know it,

You're going to leave me, I know it.
