Les Séparés Lyrics in English by Carla Bruni
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Séparés by Carla Bruni from French to English.
Comment vont faire les séparés
What will those who are separated do
Lorsque leurs jours seront comptés?
When their days are numbered?
Comment vont-ils s'endormir
How will they fall asleep
Sans que se mêlent leurs soupirs?
Without their sighs mingling?
Comment vont faire les séparés
What will those who are separated do
Contre la morsure de l'absence?
Against the bite of absence?
Contre l'ennui et le silence
Against boredom and silence
Qui les déchire comme du papier?
Which tears them like paper?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des orphelins, des égarés?
Orphans, lost ones?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des inconnus, des étrangers?
Strangers, foreigners?
Serons-nous tous des séparés?
Will we all be separated ones?
Comment vont faire les séparés
What will those who are separated do
Pour ne plus être l'un à l'autre?
So as to no longer be each other's?
Comme des damnés, comme des apôtres
Like the damned, like apostles
Et l'un à l'autre emprisonnés
And imprisoned by each other
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des orphelins, des égarés?
Orphans, lost ones?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des inconnus, des étrangers?
Strangers, foreigners?
Serons-nous tous des séparés?
Will we all be separated ones?
Comment vont faire les séparés
What will those who are separated do
Lorsque leurs jours seront comptés
When their days are numbered
Et quand bientôt ils vont goûter
And when soon they'll taste
À la souffrance et au secret?
Suffering and the secret?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des orphelins, des égarés?
Orphans, lost ones?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des inconnus, des étrangers?
Strangers, foreigners?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des orphelins, des égarés?
Orphans, lost ones?
Serons-nous tous des séparés
Will we all be separated ones
Des inconnus, des étrangers?
Strangers, foreigners?
Serons-nous tous des séparés?
Will we all be separated ones?

soupirs — sighs
Soupirs translates to "sighs." It's a beautiful and evocative word that captures a sense of longing and melancholy, which is central to the song's theme of separation.
In the lyrics, Carla Bruni asks, "Sans que se mêlent leurs soupirs?" (Without their sighs mingling?). This line poignantly illustrates the intimacy lost when lovers are separated, making "soupirs" a powerful and memorable word in this context.
