Avant quand je partais je lanais un bye bye
Before when I was leaving I was saying a bye bye
Comme on lance un sac dans une soute bagages
Like throwing a bag in a baggage hold
Un peu de courage et le lendemain matin
A little courage and the next morning
J'tais dj loin
I was already far
Si loin
So far away
Avant je me voyais comme un impermable
Before I saw myself as a raincoat
Je les laissais pleurer pour me sentir aim
I let them cry to feel loved
Et je reprenais mon sac mon air de gare
And I picked up my bag, my train station air
Un taxi dans la rue et je ne revenais plus
A taxi in the street and I wouldn't come back
Je pensais pas qu'un jour
I didn't think that one day
J'aimerais si fort
I would love so much
Que rver de partir serait
What dreaming of leaving would be
Comme rver de mourir
Like dreaming of dying
Je pensais pas qu'un jour
I didn't think that one day
J'aimerais si fort
I would love so much
Que j'aimerais mieux mourir
That I would rather die
Que de partir encore
Than to leave again
Je quittais mes amours comme des livres de poche
I left my loves like paperbacks
Qu'on oublie sans regret sur un sige d'autobus
That we forget without regret on a bus seat
Et sans arrire-pense je partais au loin
And without a second thought I went away
Je me voyais comme un train vapeur dans la nuit
I saw myself as a steam train in the night
Mais un jour j'ai pas su ce qui se passait
But one day I didn't know what was going on
J'avais envie de partir mais je restais
I wanted to leave but I stayed
J'avais beau hanter les halls de terminus
I may have haunted the terminal halls
Je n'arrivais plus prendre l'autobus
I couldn't take the bus anymore
Je pensais pas
I did not think
