Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Éternel by David Hallyday from French to English.

I saw in your tears

Whiteness flowing

But dark under the veil

I'm still searching for your heart

I read your face

The vagueness, the contempt

Isn't the wild state

I learned with

You can stop me

From laying my hand

Beneath her wounded body

I've got all the time to finally know

That we can break it all

Or erase it all

To kill those who love each other

We'd have to tear the sky

Love's eternal

I built every bridge

So we could talk

From that leaden silence

Right up to the tombstone

You can stop me

To hold her hand

Nothing can blow out

The flame I come from

You can break it all

Or erase it all

To kill those who love each other

We'd have to tear the sky

Love's eternal

We'd have to tear the sky

There are immortal pains

So many memories in "I love you"

You see

Love's eternal

There're books we close

So many images that come back

You see

Love's eternal

We'd have to tear the sky

Love's eternal

We'd have to tear the sky

There are immortal pains

So many memories in "I love you"

You see

Love's eternal

There're books we close

So many images that come back

You see

Love's eternal

SONG MEANING

What if love were truly indestructible? In “Éternel,” French rocker David Hallyday paints a vivid picture of devotion that refuses to die, no matter how dark the tears, heavy the silence, or violent the attempts to erase it. The singer describes crossing emotional bridges, reading pain in a loved one’s face, and feeling a flame that nothing can blow out. Even if “you could break everything” or “tear the sky apart,” he insists, love would still stand.

This anthem celebrates the timeless power of affection and memory. Hallyday contrasts light and shadow, wounds and warmth, to show that real love survives beyond bruised bodies and buried words. Memories locked in an “I love you,” images that rush back when a book is closed, and an unquenchable inner fire all prove a single truth: l’amour est éternel—love is eternal.
