On s'aime et c'est difficile
We love each other and it's difficult
On s'attache avec des fils
We tie ourselves with threads
Des serments d'amour inutilement
Useless oaths of love
On s'aime et c'est tellement dur
We love each other and it's so hard
On s'crie dessus, on s'griffe la figure
We shout at each other, we scratch each other's faces
On se regarde toujours si durement
We always look at each other so hard
Dis-moi que tu les abandonnes
Tell me you're abandoning them
Ces baisers, ces tourments
These kisses, these torments
Donnés par les autres personnes
Given by other people

J'en ai, des mots d'amour
I have some words of love
Qui sonnent mais maladivement
Which ring but sickly
Cachés, comme chez les autres hommes
Hidden, like in other men
Dedans
Inside
On s'aime et la vie veut qu'on joue
We love each other and life wants us to play
Des rôles qui nous coulent sur les joues
Roles that run down our cheeks
Comme deux capricieux, capricieusement
Like two capricious, capriciously
Jaloux de la pluie qui touche tes cheveux
Jealous of the rain touching your hair
Jalouse des choses que voient tes yeux
Jealous of the things your eyes see
On se regarde toujours jalousement
We always look at each other jealously
Dis-moi que tu les abandonnes
Tell me you're abandoning them
Ces baisers, ces tourments
These kisses, these torments
Donnés par les autres personnes
Given by other people
Avant

J'en ai, des mots d'amour
I have some words of love
Qui sonnent mais maladivement
Which ring but sickly
Cachés comme chez les autres hommes
Hidden like in other men
Dedans
Inside
Un jour, on va partir dans l'air
One day we're going to take off in the air
Et la vie sera
And life will be
Passée tout contre toi
Passed all against you
J'espère
I hope
