Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Comme Avant by David Hallyday from French to English.
I know well, that we lie to each other
That with a smile, we can pretend
Not say anything to each other
Let go
Gently of the feelings
I see well that you lie to yourself
That your smiles hide your torments
From lipstick
To blood red
We let it happen, for how long
Like before
Showing that we still love each other there in the wind
Like before
Mixing our bodies and our childhood games
Like before
Aiming for the sky and seeing the world in a grand way
No longer being deaf
To the noise of love
From before
From before
I see well that you lie to yourself
I can read all your heartbeats
Reluctantly
Out of sync
Becoming indifferent
Like before
Showing that we still love each other there in the wind
Like before
Mixing our bodies and our childhood games
Like before
Aiming for the sky and seeing the world in a grand way
No longer being deaf
To the noise of love
No longer being deaf
To the noise of love
From before
From before
From before
