Et l'amour s'en va
Joe Dassin
And love goes away
A summer rain in the early morning
And in the old city where tomorrow is already
A day will begin and I feel lost
Like a broken toy that you have seen too much of
That your big childlike eyes would no longer want
And love is here, and love goes away
You leave with it, it dies with me
We may pray, we may shout
Love forgets us, how to forget it?
It's useless to wear out the heart
Looking for the hand that reaches out elsewhere
To hold your head high, above water
When you are already so far from the boat
And love is here, and love goes away
Like an unstoppable hurricane
Like a wild horse running anywhere
Trampling time, not caring about anything
We have surpassed the flight of birds
We crashed our hearts into pieces
In the crazy round of days flying away
Love was here, and love goes away
And in the old city that has seen so much pass by
An indifferent world pretends to exist
But I know well that it lies
Since you decided
It broke, life stopped
And love is here, and love goes away
You leave with it, it dies with me
We may pray, we may shout
Love forgets us, how to forget it?
It's useless to wear out the heart
Looking for the hand that reaches out elsewhere
To hold your head high, above water
When you are already so far from the boat
And love is here, and love goes away
Like an unstoppable hurricane
Like a wild horse running anywhere
Trampling time, not caring about anything
We have surpassed the flight of birds
We crashed our hearts into pieces
In the crazy round of days flying away
Love was here, and love goes away
And love goes away...
Love goes away...
