Non, Je N'ai Pas Oublié

The white city crushed by the sun
Where, one day, I was born
The sloping streets, the bridge over the Rummel,
The orange gardens

{Chorus:}
No, I haven't forgotten
Although my life has changed
But silence is often a way of loving
No, no, no, no, I haven't forgotten
All those saddened faces
But we don't have the right to sacrifice
The present to the past

The singing street, when summer comes,
Does not forget the harsh winter
And the wounds that are no longer visible
Still hurt it so much
So much hope suddenly swept away
By a wind of madness
So much innocence suddenly astonished
To implore reprieve

{Chorus}

When a storm darkens the sky
The rain must fall
Before finding, in the sun again,
The desire to love life
All these ties that wove
The chain that held the boat
All these ties that broke
Leaving our cradles on the dock

No, I haven't forgotten
Although my life has changed
But silence is often a way of loving
No, no, no, no, I haven't forgotten
And I will never forget
But today you and I can't change anything
No, no, no, no, I haven't forgotten
And I will never forget
But today you and I can't change anything
No, no, no, no
