Avancer Lyrics in English by Garou

Home / Lyrics translation / Garou / Avancer

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Avancer by Garou from French to English.

J'entends couler le temps

I hear time flowing

J'ai dû laisser sur le bord d'un chemin

I had to leave by the roadside

Mes fautes et mes vingt ans

My faults and my twenty years

J'ai pris le train

I hopped on the train

Ne plus appartenir qu'à l'aube

To belong only to dawn

Et seulement détenir un rêve

And just hold a single dream

Enfin

At last

Et avancer encore un pas

And move on one more step

Pour m'éloigner plus fort de toi

To tear myself further from you

Tu me décimes bien malgré toi

You wreck me though you don't mean to

Quand je m'abîme au creux de tes bras

When I crumble in the curve of your arms

J'apprends à ne plus faire semblant

I'm learning to stop pretending

À perdre le bonheur pour mieux rester vivant

To lose joy so I can stay alive

J'émets bien trop de doutes

I spill way too many doubts

Marcher au bord du vide

Walking along the edge of the void

J'ai l'amour sur la route

Love's out on the road

Et le cœur qui s'évide

And my heart's hollowing out

Mais avancer encore un pas

But I take one more step

Pour m'éloigner plus fort de toi

To tear myself further from you

Tu me décimes bien malgré toi

You wreck me though you don't mean to

Quand je m'abîme au creux de tes bras

When I crumble in the curve of your arms

Ne plus appartenir qu'à l'aube

To belong only to dawn

Et seulement détenir un rêve

And just hold a single dream

Enfin

At last

Et avancer encore un pas

And move on one more step

Pour m'éloigner plus fort de toi

To tear myself further from you

Tu me décimes bien malgré toi

You wreck me though you don't mean to

Quand je m'abîme au creux de tes bras

When I crumble in the curve of your arms

Et avancer

And move on

Et avancer encore un pas

And move on one more step

Pour m'éloigner plus fort de toi

To tear myself further from you

Mais avancer

But move on
