Savoir Aimer Lyrics in English Florent Pagny
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Savoir Aimer by Florent Pagny from French to English.
Verse 1
Knowing how to smile
To a passing stranger
Leaving no trace
Except for the pleasure
Knowing how to love
Without expecting anything in return
Neither regard nor great love
Not even the hope of being loved
Chorus 1
But knowing how to give
Giving without taking back
Doing nothing but learning
Learning to love
Loving without expecting
And loving, taking it all
Learning to smile
Just for the gesture
Without wanting the rest
And learning to live
And walking away
Verse 2
Knowing how to wait
Tasting this complete happiness
That you're given, as if by mistake
So much you'd stopped expecting it
Seeing yourself believe in it
To fool the fear of emptiness
Anchored like so many wrinkles
That tarnish the mirrors
Chorus 2
Knowing how to give
Giving without taking back
Doing nothing but learning
Learning to love
Loving without expecting
And loving, taking it all
Learning to smile
Just for the gesture
Without wanting the rest
And learning to live
And walking away
Verse 3
Knowing how to suffer
In silence, without a whisper
Neither defense nor armor
Suffering to the point of wanting to die
Getting back up
Like being reborn from your ashes
With so much love to spare
That you draw a line under the past
Chorus 3
But knowing how to give
Giving without taking back
Doing nothing but learning
Learning to love
Loving without expecting
And loving, taking it all
Learning to smile
Just for the gesture
Without wanting the rest
And learning to live
And walking away
Bridge 1
Learning to dream
Dreaming for two
Just by closing your eyes
Bridge 2
And knowing how to give
Giving without second thoughts
No half-measures
Learning to stay
Outro
Wanting it 'til the end
Staying in spite of it all
Learning to love
To walk away
And walking away
And walking away
