These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
On ne jette pas un vieux jean usé
You don't throw away old worn jeans
On recolle un livre abîmé
We glue a damaged book back together
On regarde une photo ratée
We look at a failed photo
Et on pleure sur une fleur séchée
And we cry over a dried flower
Par amour
By love
Ou par pitié
Or out of pity
par amour
by love
Ou par pitié
Or out of pity
On ne rit pas d'un arbre brisé
We don't laugh at a broken tree
On arrose une terre brûlée
We water a scorched earth
On ramasse un oiseau tombé
We pick up a fallen bird
On recueille un chien sans collier
We take in a dog without a collar
Par amour
By love
Ou par pitié
Or out of pity
par amour
by love
Ou par pitié
Or out of pity
On relève un boxeur tombé
We pick up a fallen boxer
On bande les yeux d'un condamné
A condemned man is blindfolded
On enterre un ennemi tué
We bury a killed enemy
On achève un cheval blessé
We finish off a wounded horse
Par amour
By love
Ou par pitié
Or out of pity
par amour
by love
Ou par pitié
Or out of pity
Alors toi, toi qui m'as aimée
So you, you who loved me
Toi qui sais que je suis blessée
You who know that I am hurt
Que sans toi, sans toi ma vie est brisée
That without you, without you my life is broken
À genoux, je viens te crier
On my knees, I come to cry out to you
Pitié, aie pitié
Please have mercy
par amour ou par pitié
out of love or pity
par amour ou par pitié
out of love or pity
