Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Pensais by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je pensais bien qu'un jour
I thought that one day
Tu allais me quitter
You were going to leave me
Que pour un autre amour
Than for another love
Un jour, tu partirais
One day you would leave
Et qu'une autre que moi
And someone other than me
Saurait se faire aimer
Would know how to make yourself loved
Qu'une autre dans tes bras
Than another in your arms
T'offrirait d'autres joies
Would offer you other joys
Je pensais bien qu'un jour
I thought that one day
Cela arriverait
This would happen
Je pensais que nous deux
I thought the two of us
Ça ne pourrait durer
It couldn't last
Qu'on était trop heureux
That we were so happy
Et qu'une autre viendrait
And another one would come
Mais je n'aurais pas cru
But I wouldn't have believed
Je n'avais pas prévu
I hadn't planned
Tu pourrais te tromper
You could be wrong
Tu pourrais me quitter
You could leave me
Qu'étais-je donc pour toi
So what was I to you
Si pour elle, tu t'en vas?
If for her, are you leaving?
