[English]

My love

Tell me what you're thinking

Does all this make sense?

Sorry if I bother you

My love

Do you remember us?

Our first date?

It was beautiful, it was crazy

I love you

I don't know why

I keep replaying that scene

But it's always the same ending starting over – Can't you hear?

What do we do with my pain?

Do you love me or not?

My love

I'll do everything I can

An ocean in the fire

The impossible if you want it

Oh, my love

Come back to Paris

Do it for us, I beg you

I promise, I understand

I love you

I don't know why

I keep replaying that scene

But it's always the same ending starting over – Can't you hear?

What do we do with my pain?

Do you love me or not?

Tell me where, I'll wait for you

And if you don't come, I'll wait for you

It's stupid, I know, but I will

Filled with hope, I'll wait for you

I love you

I don't know why

I keep replaying that scene

But it's always the same ending starting over – Can't you hear?

What do we do with my pain?

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Or not?

[French]

Mon amour

Dis-moi à quoi tu penses

Si tout ça a un sens

Désolé si je te dérange

Mon amour

Te souviens-tu de nous?

Du premier rendez-vous?

C'était beau, c'était fou

Je t'aime

J'sais pas pourquoi

Je rejoue la scène

Mais c'est toujours la même fin qui recommence Tu n'entends pas

Ma peine, on en fait quoi?

Est-ce que tu m'aimes ou pas?

Mon amour

Je ferai tout ce que je peux

Un océan dans le feu

L'impossible si tu le veux

Oh mon amour

Allez reviens à Paris

Fais-le pour nous je t'en supplie

Je le promets j'ai compris

Je t'aime

J'sais pas pourquoi

Je rejoue la scène

Mais c'est toujours la même fin qui recommence Tu n'entends pas

Ma peine, on en fait quoi?

Est-ce que tu m'aimes ou pas?

Dis-moi l'endroit, je t’attendrai

Et si tu ne viens pas, je t'attendrai

C'est bête je sais, je le ferai

Rempli d'espoir je t'attendrai

Je t'aime

J'sais pas pourquoi

Je rejoue la scène

Mais c'est toujours la même fin qui recommence Tu n'entends pas

Ma peine, on en fait quoi?

Est-ce que tu m'aimes?

Est-ce que tu m'aimes?

Est-ce que tu m'aimes?

Est-ce que tu m'aimes?

Ou pas?
