Below, I translated the lyrics of the song I Wish by Reneé Rapp from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
I was ten years old when I realized
I was ten years old when I realized
Some goodbyes are forever
Some goodbyes are forever
So what's that mean for you and I?
So what's that mean for you and I?
I thought we'd always be together
I thought we'd always be together
How can the person who taught me to breathe
How can the person who taught me to breathe
Take their last breath right in front of me?
Take their last breath right in front of me?
I know too much now
I know too much now
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
the older we get, the colors they change
the older we get, the colors they change
Your hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
Your hair turns to gray but the blue's here to stay
So I wish, I wish
So I wish, I wish
I remember seeing my dad cry
I remember seeing my dad cry
For the first time, we were downstairs
For the first time, we were downstairs
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
And how he wished he could've been there
And how he wished he could've been there
He said 'How could the person who taught me to breathe
He said 'How could the person who taught me to breathe
Take their last breath not in front of me?'
Take their last breath not in front of me?'
I know too much now
I know too much now
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
the older we get, the colors they change
the older we get, the colors they change
Your hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same
Your hair turns to gray but the blue stays the same
I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish
Stay a little longer
Stay a little longer
I'm not ready for you to go
I'm not ready for you to go
It hasn't even happened
It hasn't even happened
But I have been mourning since ten years old
But I have been mourning since ten years old
Stay a little longer
Stay a little longer
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
the older we get, the colors they change
the older we get, the colors they change
Your hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
Your hair turns to gray but the blue's here to stay
So I wish, I wish, hmm
So I wish, I wish, hmm
