Avant nous
Édith Piaf
Before Us
A spring dies, another one comes
And everything changes, yet stays the same
Happiness isn’t ours
No more than the sun
Listen, listen to the world
This orchestra of beating hearts
From everywhere they respond
How long has it been?
Before us
Other lovers said: "I love you"
Like we do…
Before us
Others have suffered, even betrayed
Like…
No! Don’t believe that! Don’t believe that!
Love isn’t this misery
Love is you in my arms…
Before us
Others danced on "I love you"
Like we do…
Before us
Others parted ways anyway
Like…
No! Not like us... Don’t believe that!
We danced all over the earth
And we’ll dance on these words
Let’s love each other
Like those who loved so deeply
Like we do
And like those who will follow us
And like those who will love
After us…
