J'avais Rêvé

Sweet lord
What have I done to you
That the more I fall
The more you let me
Fall?
I had dreamed of a heart so big
That mine could find a place in it
For a happiness to share
Sweet lord
What have I done to you?

I had dreamed of another life
When my life passed
Like a dream
I was ready
For all the madness
For all the passions

That arise
I was so young, where is the harm?
I wanted to laugh
To love and live
Dance until the end of the ball
Drunk with the happiness of being free

But the wolves roam in the night
And one of them sniffed my trail
I satisfied the appetite
Of the first thief that passes by

He got me used to his life
To the warmth of his presence
And then one day he left
Having stolen my childhood

Sometimes I still dream of him
He begs me and he regrets
But the dream fades at dawn
Like the lanterns of an evening party

I had dreamed of another life
Barely begun, it ends
I had dreamed of another life
But life has killed
My dreams
