Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fallait-Il? by Édith Piaf from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Pour partir de chez moi
To leave my home
Pour partir de chez toi
To get out of your house
Pour laisser tout tomber
To let it all go
Sans regarder derri?re soi
Without looking behind yourself
Fallait-il, fallait-il
Was it necessary, had it been necessary
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime
Was it necessary that we love
Fallait-il en avoir
Was it necessary to have one
De l'amour, toi et moi
Love, you and me
Pour chaque fois se quitter
For each time to leave each other
Sur un mot maladroit
On a clumsy word
Pour chaque fois le regretter
For each time regret it
Et chaque fois recommencer
And every time start again
Fallait-il, fallait-il
Was it necessary, had it been necessary
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime
Was it necessary that we love
Fallait-il en avoir
Was it necessary to have one
De l'amour, toi et moi
Love, you and me
Pour s'aimer aussi mal
To love each other so badly
Aussi mal qu'on s'aimait
As bad as we loved each other
Pour se faire autant de mal
To hurt yourself so much
Autant de mal qu'on s'est fait
As much trouble as we've done
Fallait-il, fallait-il
Was it necessary, had it been necessary
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime
Was it necessary that we love
Fallait-il en avoir
Was it necessary to have one
De l'amour, toi et moi
Love, you and me
Pour n'avoir jamais pu
For never being able to
Etre heureuse apr?s toi
Being happy after you
