Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Combien de temps pour t'oublier by Joe Dassin from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tu ne peux plus rien pour moi
There's nothing you can do for me
Seulement t'éloigner de moi
Just get away from me
T'écarter un peu de mon soleil
Keeping you away from my sun
Tu as mis devant mes yeux
You put before my eyes
Tant de petites fleurs bleues
So many little blue flowers
Je n'avais jamais rien vu de pareil
I've never seen anything like it
Mais combien faut-il de temps
But how long does it take
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
To forget you, to forget
Combien de temps pour t'oublier
How long to forget you
C'est bien là, tout mon malheur
It's right there, all my misfortune
Tu étais la seule fille
You were the only girl
Que jamais je n'aurais dû croiser
That I should never have met
Je t'avais donné mon cœur
I gave you my heart
Tu voulais déjà ma vie
You already wanted my life
Un instant j'ai cru ne plus te quitter
For a moment I thought I wouldn't leave you
Et si nos amours, ma belle
And if our loves, my beautiful
M'ont un peu brûlé des ailes
Have a little burned my wings
Je n'en ai pas l'ombre de regret
I have no shadow of regret
Pense à moi, je te salue
Think of me, I salute you
Je n'avais jamais connu, ni tenu
I had never known, nor held
Ni vu l'amour de si près
Neither saw love so close
