Rendez-vous Dans Une Autre Vie
Françoise Hardy
Meeting in Another Life
End of the last act
That didn't make me take off
We have to leave
Even if I keep
An impression of unfinished
Where are the marks?
Is there a hidden door
A release valve
For me to skip
This long mandatory passage
Sorry if I leave quietly
And without notice
Sorry for tonight, for yesterday too
The play is over
See you later in another life
Elsewhere or here
To love each other better and more than today
It's just a reprieve
If we set dates
With the intention of respecting
This strange pact
Would the narrow door
Be less sad to pass through?
Where are our marks,
Where are our intertwined fingers?
Our hearts that beat,
Burn and exalt
And us, who loved each other so much?
So wrong as well
But today
I just want to say thank you
My most beautiful dreams
Follies and fevers
I owe them to you a hundred times
All your unspoken words
Your taboos
Have seasoned my life
Its greatest challenges
Sorry if I leave quietly
And without notice
Sorry for tonight, for yesterday too
The play is over
See you later in another life
Elsewhere or here
To love each other better and more than today
It's just a reprieve
