Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Promis Juré by Lilian Renaud from French to English.

Combien de navires ont pris l'eau

How many ships have taken on water

Avant de toucher le rivage

Before touching the shore

Combien de soupirs, de sanglots

How many sighs, how many sobs

Avant de guérir nos visages

Before healing our faces

L'adversité écorche nos rêves

Adversity scratches our dreams

Qui tracent nos parcours, notre histoire

That trace our paths, our history

Et pour qu'un nouveau jour se lève

And for a new day to rise

Partir avant qu'il soit trop tard

Leave before it's too late

Promis juré

I promise, I swear

Tout ira mieux demain

Everything will be better tomorrow

A l'abri des regrets

In the shelter of regrets

Attendons l'aube si tu veux bien

Let's wait for dawn if you don't mind

Tout ira mieux demain

Everything will be better tomorrow

Combien de nuits pleines d'éclairs

How many nights full of lightning

Avant de connaître les grands jours

Before knowing the great days

Combien de lumières éphémères

How many ephemeral lights

Avant celles qui brillent pour toujours

Before those that shine forever

Pourquoi se priver d'être nous

Why deprive ourselves of being us

De faire ce qu'on fait de mieux

Of doing what we do best

Puisque mes espoirs les plus fous

Since my wildest hopes

Vivrons à travers vos yeux

Will live through your eyes

Outro

Promis juré

I promise, I swear

Tout ira mieux demain

Everything will be better tomorrow

Promis juré

I promise, I swear

Promis juré

I promise, I swear

Attendons l'aube si tu veux bien

Let's wait for dawn if you don't mind

Tout ira mieux demain

Everything will be better tomorrow
