These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Notre grand amour est mort lui naguère si vivant
Our great love is dead, once so alive
S'il n'est pas encore mort il est agonisant
If it is not yet dead, it is dying
Quelqu'un l'a vu errer et tituber comme un mendiant
Someone saw him wander and stagger like a beggar
Quelqu'un l'a vu à genoux pleurer comme un enfant
Someone saw him kneel and cry like a child
Notre grand amour est mort, lui qui vivait tellement
Our great love is dead, he who lived so fully
Lui qui couchait dehors sous les ponts à tous les vents
He who slept outside under the bridges in all winds
Lui qui crevait d'espoir, lui qui marchait en dansant
He who starved for hope, he who walked dancing
Lui qui avait peur do noir, il est mort maintenant
He who was afraid of the dark, he is dead now
Les grandes amours sont frêles
Great loves are fragile
Elles vacillent avec le temps
They falter with time
Les grandes amours chancellent
Great loves stagger
Les grandes amours sont folles
Great loves are mad
Elles sont folles de leur tourment
They are mad with their torment
Les grandes amours cruelles
Cruel great loves
Notre grand amour est mort il faut le vêtir de blanc
Our great love is dead, he must be dressed in white
Faut parfumer son corps le veiller trois nuits durant
His body must be perfumed, watched over for three nights
Il faut le mettre en terre sans cercueil, ni sacrement
He must be laid in the ground without a coffin, without sacrament
Pour qu'il revienne en fleur, pour qu'il fasse son temps
So that he may bloom again, so that he may take his time
Les grandes amours sont frêles
Great loves are fragile
Elles vacillent avec le temps
They falter with time
Les grandes amours chancellent
Great loves stagger
Les grandes amours sont folles
Great loves are mad
Elles sont folles de leur tourment
They are mad with their torment
Les grandes amours cruelles
Cruel great loves
