Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adieu triste amour by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je confesse qu'il me faut du temps
I confess that I need time
De tendresse, je n'en attendais pas tant
Tenderness, I did not expect so much
La détresse te va comme un gant
Distress fits you like a glove
Je te laisse pour un long moment
I'll leave you for a long time
Rien dans ce monde ne me retient
Nothing in this world holds me back
Bonne journée, adieu triste amour
Good day, goodbye sad love
Pense à moi un peu moins chaque jour
Think of me a little less every day
Adieu triste amour
Farewell sad love
Adieu triste amour
Farewell sad love
Ma jeunesse ne fout pas le camp
My youth doesn't screw up camp
Dans l'ivresse tout est mieux qu'avant
In drunkenness everything is better than before
Chaque seconde me revient
Every second comes back to me
Bonne journée, adieu triste amour
Good day, goodbye sad love
N'oublie pas que c'était nos beaux jours
Don't forget that these were our heyday
Loin des remparts de la prison
Far from the prison walls
Regarder l'arbre, n'y voir qu'un tronc
Look at the tree, see only a trunk
Un tronçon d'âme moribond
A stretch of moribund soul
M'appelle au calme, à la raison
Calls me to calm, to reason
Adieu triste amour
Farewell sad love
Adieu triste amour.
Farewell sad love
