Dans Le Temps

There is no longer, in this city, the joy
That there was before
In the past
I am lost in this city without you
You who loved me nevertheless
In the past

I walk alone along the streets
To find the past
Of a love that no longer exists
But that began
In this city
I search in vain but nothing
I search in the streets but
Yet it's in vain, you know

In the past
How we loved each other, oh yes
In the past
I remember, oh yes
In the past
That has passed since
In the past {x2}

In this neighborhood where one only lives at night
It's like before
In the past
As much life, light, and noise
We used to come often
In the past

At the club where we used to dance
I dragged my boredom
When the bartender saw me coming in
Alone, he understood
My great sorrow
He didn't say anything but I know
He understood. He played the tune
That we used to hum, you know

In the past
When we loved each other, oh yes
In the past
You remember, oh yes
In the past
That has passed since
In the past
In the past

In this city nothing has changed
If you come back one day
With some regret in your heart
Dreaming of our love
In this city
Nothing has changed but yet
You will walk the streets but
Nothing is as it was before, you know
