Salut Lyrics in English Joe Dassin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Salut by Joe Dassin from French to English.
Les matins se suivent et se ressemblent
The mornings follow and are all the same
Quand l'amour fait place au quotidien
When love gives way to the daily routine
On n'était pas faits pour vivre ensemble
We weren't made to live together
Ça n'suffit pas toujours de s'aimer bien
It's not always enough just to love each other
C'est drôle, hier on s'ennuyait
It's funny, yesterday we were bored
Et c'est à peine si l'on trouvait
And we could barely find
Des mots pour se parler du mauvais temps
Words to talk about the bad weather
Et maintenant qu'il faut partir
And now that we have to leave
On a cent mille choses à dire
We have a hundred thousand things to say
Qui tiennent trop à cœur pour si peu de temps
That mean too much for so little time
On s'est aimés comme on se quitte
We loved each other the way we're leaving each other
Tout simplement sans penser à demain
Simply, without thinking about tomorrow
À demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite
Of a tomorrow that always comes a bit too soon
Aux adieux qui quelquefois se passent un peu trop bien
Of goodbyes that sometimes go a little too well
On fait c'qu'il faut, on tient nos rôles
We do what we have to, we play our roles
On se regarde, on rit, on crâne un peu
We look at each other, we laugh, we put on a brave face
On a toujours oublié quelque chose
We've always forgotten something
C'est pas facile de se dire adieu
It's not easy to say goodbye
Et l'on sait trop bien que tôt ou tard
And we know all too well that sooner or later
Demain peut-être ou même ce soir
Tomorrow maybe, or even tonight
On va se dire que tout n'est pas perdu
We're going to tell ourselves that all's not lost
De ce roman inachevé on va se faire un conte de fées
From this unfinished novel we'll make a fairy tale
Mais on a passé l'âge, on n'y croirait plus
But we're past that age, we wouldn't believe it anymore
On s'est aimés comme on se quitte
We loved each other the way we're leaving each other
Tout simplement sans penser à demain
Simply, without thinking about tomorrow
À demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite
Of a tomorrow that always comes a bit too soon
Aux adieux qui quelquefois se passent un peu trop bien
Of goodbyes that sometimes go a little too well
Roméo, Juliette et tous les autres
Romeo, Juliet and all the others
Au fond de vos bouquins dormez en paix
Deep in your books, sleep in peace
Une simple histoire comme la nôtre
A simple story like ours
Est de celles qu'on n'écrira jamais
Is one of those that will never be written
Allons petite, il faut partir
Come on, darling, we have to go
Laisser ici nos souvenirs
Leave our memories here
On va descendre ensemble si tu veux
We'll go down together if you want
Et quand elle va nous voir passer
And when she sees us walk by
La patronne du café
The owner of the café
Va encore nous dire 'salut les amoureux!'
Will say to us again 'hey lovebirds!'
On s'est aimés comme on se quitte
We loved each other the way we're leaving each other
Tout simplement sans penser à demain
Simply, without thinking about tomorrow
À demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite
Of a tomorrow that always comes a bit too soon
Aux adieux qui quelquefois se passent un peu trop bien
Of goodbyes that sometimes go a little too well
