[English]

Oh time, time has healed me

Nothing is like before

Someone has already healed me

Ooh the wind, the wind has turned well

Don't waste my time

Another one knew how to heal me

You, you disappear without leaving a word

You preferred to flee like a child, to leave without looking back

I lent you my heart and you turned your back on it

You made me waste my time,

You didn't let me speak

And now, you come back, just like before,

you hope to find the one who loved you, the one you played with

And now, now it's you who wants to speak

And all your best lines you want to fit in

Don't waste my time

Oh time, time has healed me

Nothing is like before

Someone has already healed me

Ooh the wind, the wind has turned well

Don't waste my time

Another one knew how to heal me

Don't make me believe that I didn't do what I had to

I put you before everything

I lost my reason

Without any remorse, you threw everything away

I had become addicted to your taste

The taste of your poison

But now, I'm fine, with you

I felt like I had to beg

For something you owe me, no

Now you finally want to hear me

We stopped, you want to start again

Don't waste my time

Oh time, time has healed me

Nothing is like before

Someone has already healed me

Ooh the wind, the wind has turned well

Don't waste my time

Another one knew how to heal me

[French]

Oh le temps, le temps m’a réparé

Plus rien n’est comme avant

Quelqu’un m’a déjà soigné

Ooh le vent, le vent a bien tourné

Ne gaspille pas mon temps

Une autre a su me soigner

Toi la tu disparais sans laisser un mot

T’as préféré fuir comme un enfant, partir sans te retourner

Jt'ai prêté mon coeur et tu lui as donné ton dos

Toi tu m’as fais gaspiller mon temps,

Tu n’ma pas laisser parler

Et maintenant, tu reviens, et comme avant,

tu espères retrouver celui qui t’as aimé, celui avec qui t’as joué

Et maintenant, maintenant c’est toi qui veut parler

Et toute tes meilleures phrases tu veux les caler

Ne gaspille pas mon temps

Oh le temps, le temps m’a réparé

Plus rien n’est comme avant

Quelqu’un m’a déjà soigné

Ooh le vent, le vent a bien tourné

Ne gaspille pas mon temps

Une autre a su me soigner

Ne me fais pas croire que j’nai pas fais c’quil faut

Moi je t’ai fais passer avant tout

J’en ai perdu la raison

Sans aucun remords toi t’as tout jeté à l’eau

J’étais devenu accro à ton goût

Le goût de ton poison

Mais maintenant, moi ça va, avec toi

J’avais comme l’impression de devoir supplier

Pour quelque chose que tu me dois non

Maintenant toi tu veux enfin m’entendre

On s’est arrêté tu veux reprendre

Ne gaspille pas mon temps

Oh le temps, le temps m’a réparé

Plus rien n’est comme avant

Quelqu’un m’a déjà soigné

Ooh le vent, le vent a bien tourné

Ne gaspille pas mon temps

Une autre a su me soigner
