Ma plus belle histoire d'amour

From as far back as I can remember
The shadow of my old loves
From as far back as the first meeting
From the time of the first sorrows
When I was barely fifteen
Heart all white, and knees scratched
Whether they were, I was precocious
Tender childhood loves
Or the bites of a crazy love
From as far back as I can remember
If since then, I've said 'I love you'
My most beautiful love story, it's you

It's true, I wasn't wise
And I turned many pages
Without reading them, blank, and then nothing on them
It's true, I wasn't wise
And my passing warriors
Barely seen, already gone
But through their faces
It was already your image
It was already you and the naked heart
I packed my bags again
And pursued my mirage
My most beautiful love story, it's you

On the long road
That led to you
On the long road
I went with a crazy heart
The December wind
Chilled my neck
December didn't matter
If it was for you

The road was long
But I took it, the road
That led to you
And I am not perjured
If tonight, I swear to you
That, for you, I would have done it on my knees
It would have taken many more
Than a few bad apostles
Than winter or snow on my neck
For me to lose patience
And I calmed my violence
My most beautiful love story, it's you

The times of winter and autumn
Day and night, and no one
You were never at the meeting
And losing courage from you
Suddenly, rage took hold of me
My God, how much I needed you
May the Devil take you away
Others opened their doors to me
Happy, I went far from you
Yes, I was unfaithful to you
But you still come back
My most beautiful love story, it's you

I cried my tears
But how sweet it was
Oh, how sweet it was
That first smile from you
And for a tear
That came from you
I cried out of love
Do you remember?

It was one evening in September
You had come to wait for me
Right here, do you remember?
Watching you smile
Loving you, without saying anything
That's when I understood, suddenly
I had finished my journey
And I put down my bags
You had come to the meeting
No matter what people may say
I wanted to tell you
Tonight I thank you for being you
No matter what people may say
I came to tell you
My most beautiful love story, it's you
