Quoi
What
D'notre amour fou n'resterait que des cendres
Of our crazy love only ashes would remain
Moi
Me
J'aim'rais qu'la terr' s'arrête pour descendre
I would like the earth to stop and go down
Toi
You
Tu m'dis que tu n'vaux pas la cord' pour te pendre
You tell me you're not worth the rope to hang yourself
C't à laisser ou à prendre
Leave it or take it
Joie et douleur c'est ce que l'amour engendre
Joy and pain is what love breeds
Sois au moins conscient que mon cœur peut se fendre
At least be aware that my heart can break
Soit dit en passant j'ai beaucoup à apprendre
By the way I have a lot to learn
Si j'ai bien su te comprendre
If I understood you well
Amour cruel
Cruel love
Comme un duel
Like a duel
Dos à dos et sans merci
Back to back and without mercy
Tu as le choix des armes
You have the choice of weapons
Ou celui des larmes
Or that of tears
Penses-y
think about it
Penses-y
think about it
Et conçois que c'est à la mort à la vie
And understand that it is death and life
Quoi
What
D'notre amour fou n'resterait que des cendres
Of our crazy love only ashes would remain
Moi, j'aim'rais qu'la terr' s'arrête pour descendre
Me, I would like the earth to stop and go down
Toi, tu préfères mourir que de te rendre
You would rather die than surrender
Va donc savoir, va comprendre
So you'll know, you'll understand
Amour cruel, comme en duel
Cruel love, like a duel
Dos à dos et sans merci
Back to back and without mercy
Tu as le choix des armes
You have the choice of weapons
Ou celui des larmes
Or that of tears
Penses-y
think about it
Penses-y
think about it
Et conçois que c'est à la mort, à la vie
And understand that it is to death, to life
Toi, tu préfères mourir que de te rendre
You would rather die than surrender
Va savoir, va comprendre
Will know, will understand

D'notre amour fou n'resterait que des cendres
