On N'oublie Rien

We forget nothing at all
We forget nothing, not a thing
We forget nothing at all
We just get used to it, that's all
Neither the goodbyes nor the ships
Nor the trips that turn us upside down
From landscapes to landscapes
And from faces to faces
Neither all these ports nor all these bars
Nor all these traps for the blues
Where we wait for the gray morning
At the cinema of our whiskey
Neither all this nor anything in the world
Can make us forget
Can't make us forget.
As sure as the earth is round.
We forget nothing at all
We forget nothing, not a thing
We forget nothing at all
We just get used to it, that's all
Neither these never nor these always
Nor these I love yous nor these loves
That we chase through hearts
From gray to gray, from tears to tears
Neither these white arms of a single night
A woman's necklace for our boredom
That we untie at dawn
With promises of return
Neither all this nor anything in the world
Can make us forget
Can't make us forget.
As sure as the earth is round.
We forget nothing at all
We forget nothing, not a thing
We forget nothing at all
We just get used to it, that's all
Not even that time when I would have made
A thousand songs of my regrets
Not even that time when my memories
Will take my wrinkles for a smile
Nor that big bed where my remorse
Meets death for a rendezvous
Nor that big bed that I wish for
On some days like a celebration
Neither all this nor anything in the world
Can make us forget
Can't make us forget.
As sure as the earth is round.
We forget nothing at all
We forget nothing, not a thing
We forget nothing at all
We just get used to it, that's all
