Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde
For the two of us until the end of the world
Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Pour nos cœurs, dans sa course vagabonde
For our hearts, in its wandering course
Serre-moi fort
Hug me tight
Contre ton corps
Against your body
Il faut qu'à l'heure des folies
It is necessary that at the hour of madness
Le grand amour
The big love
Raye le jour
scratch the day
Et nous fasse oublier la vie
And make us forget life
Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Avec toi elle paraît si belle
With you she seems so beautiful
Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Mon amour qu'elle devienne éternelle
My love that it becomes eternal

For happiness
De nos deux cœurs
Of our two hearts
Arrête le temps et les heures
Stop time and hours
Je t'en supplie
I beg you

Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Ne me demande pas d'où me vient ma tristesse
Don't ask me where my sadness comes from
Ne me demande pas que tu ne comprendrais pas
Don't ask me that you wouldn't understand
En découvrant l'amour je frôle la détresse
By discovering love, I come close to distress
En croyant au bonheur la peur entre mes joies
Believing in happiness fear between my joys
Serre-moi fort
Hug me tight
Contre ton corps
Against your body
Il faut qu'à l'heure des folies
It is necessary that at the hour of madness
Le grand amour
The big love
Raye le jour
scratch the day
Et nous fasse oublier la vie
And make us forget life
Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Avec toi elle paraît si belle
With you she seems so beautiful
Retiens la nuit
hold back the night
Mon amour qu'elle devienne éternelle
