L'un Part, L'autre Reste

Charlotte Gainsbourg Charlotte Gainsbourg

One Leaves, the Other Stays

Have they forgotten their promises?
At the slightest laugh, at the slightest gesture
Big loves no longer have an address
When one leaves and the other stays

Are there only failures of youth?
Is there only a past that leaves nothing?
Big loves are in distress
When one leaves and the other stays

Stay at home
Grow old without me
Don't call me anymore
Erase me
Tear up my letters
And stay there
Tomorrow, maybe
You will come back

Gesture of love and tenderness
Like two birds longing for intoxication
Big loves no longer have an address
When one leaves and the other stays

Are they sad as soon as they hurt you?
The day after clumsiness
Big loves are in distress
When one leaves and the other stays

A sad farewell
So many illusions
If it's a game
It will be a no
Give me back my letters
And stay there
Tomorrow maybe
You will understand

A sad farewell
So many illusions
If it's a game
It will be a no
Give me back my letters
And stay there
Tomorrow maybe
You will understand

They will not forget their promises
They will write to the same addresses
Big loves recognize each other
When one leaves and the other stays
