Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Forever by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
Je te vois sur le trottoir
I see you on the sidewalk
Prendre le train du soir
Take the evening train
Et tu as ton regard noir
And you have your black gaze
Et tu ne veux plus me voir
And you don't want to see me anymore
Manège et ménage à trois
Merry-go-round and threesomes
On ne faisait rien à jeun
We didn't do anything on an empty stomach
Tu n'étais que l'ombre de toi
You were only a shadow of yourself
Moi, si malheureux
Me, so unhappy
Toi, si mal en point
You, so bad
Comme ça, tu t'en vas
Like that, you go
Comme ça, tu te barres
Like that, you leave
Comme ça, tu te tires
Like that, you get away
Comme ça, tu me plantes
Like that, you plant me
Comme ça, je te manque
Like that, you miss me
Comme ça, tu me vires
Like that, you fire me
Comme ça, tu t'en fous
Like that, you don't care
Comme ça, tu laisses
Like this, you leave
Juste un grand vide
Just a big void
Dans mon coeur
In my heart
Comme ça, tu t'en fous
Like that, you don't care
De me laisser à genoux
To leave me on my knees
Faut jamais dire trop tard
Never say it too late
Surtout quand c'est trop tard
Especially when it's too late
Mais sous le fard à paupières
But under the eye shadow
Je vois ton regard plein de désespoir
I see your look full of despair
Manège et ménage à trois
Merry-go-round and threesomes
Moi je m'en fous
I do not care
Que tu aies quelqu'un
That you have someone
Tu n'étais que l'ombre de toi
You were only a shadow of yourself
Moi, les larmes aux yeux
Me, with tears in my eyes
Toi, sourire en coin
You, smirk
Comme ça, tu t'en vas
Like that, you go
Comme ça, tu te barres
Like that, you leave
Comme ça, tu te tires
Like that, you get away
Comme ça, tu me plantes
Like that, you plant me
Comme ça, je te manque
Like that, you miss me
Comme ça, tu me vires
Like that, you fire me
Comme ça, tu t'en fous
Like that, you don't care
Comme ça, tu laisses
Like this, you leave
Juste un grand vide
Just a big void
Dans mon coeur
In my heart
Comme ça, tu t'en fous
Like that, you don't care
De me laisser à genoux
To leave me on my knees
Je me déteste
I hate myself
Mon amour chéri
My darling love
Toutes ces merdes
All this shit
Ça m'a dégoûté
It disgusted me
De la Normandie
From Normandy
Comme ça, tu t'en vas
Like that, you go
Comme ça, tu te barres
Like that, you leave
Comme ça, tu te tires
Like that, you get away
Comme ça, tu me plantes
Like that, you plant me
Comme ça, je te manque
Like that, you miss me
Comme ça, tu me niques
Like that, you fuck me
