[English]

Another morning wondering how

I'm going to fill the void you left

I feel like the day promises to be long

And I have no one to spend it with

I can't bear this loneliness anymore, I miss you

I have no one to confide in

I spend my time looking out the window

And I still don't see you coming home

Everything seems false, I'm losing my words, what will I become?

I hold on to hope of seeing you again in the near future

I wait for you as if you were going to come back

I will miss you, I will miss you

The memories keep haunting me

I will miss you, I will miss you

It's been so long that I've been waiting for you to come back but

You are disappearing from my memory

I wait for you as if you were going to come back

I will miss you, I will miss you

Another whole night dreaming of your return

But waking up plunges me back into this nightmare

Without you, I'm bored, I smile

When I think back to the conversations we had morning and night

I think so much about you

Sometimes, I feel like I hear the sound of your voice

The more the years pass, the more I realize how

I was lucky to have you

Everything seems false, I'm losing my words, what will I become?

I hold on to hope of seeing you again in the near future

I wait for you as if you were going to come back

I will miss you, I will miss you

The memories keep haunting me

I will miss you, I will miss you

It's been so long that I've been waiting for you to come back but

You are disappearing from my memory

I wait for you as if you were going to come back

I will miss you, I will miss you

I will wait for you again, again, and again

As long as my body can bear your absence

I will wait for you again, again, and again

I will wait for you to come back

I wait for you as if you were going to come back

I will miss you, I will miss you

The memories keep haunting me

I will miss you, I will miss you

It's been so long that I've been waiting for you to come back but

You are disappearing from my memory

I wait for you as if you were going to come back

I will miss you, I will miss you

[French]

Encore une matinée à m'demander comment

J'vais combler tout ce vide que tu as laissé

Je sens que la journée promet d'être longue

Et j'n'ai plus personne avec qui la passer

Je n'peux plus porter cette solitude, tu me manques

Je n'ai plus personne à qui me confier

Je passe mon temps à regarder par la fenêtre

Et je n'te vois toujours pas rentrer

Tout semble faux, j'en perds mes mots, que vais-je devenir?

Je garde espoir de te revoir dans un proche avenir

Je t'attends comme si t'allais rentrer

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Les souvenirs ne cessent de me hanter

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Ça fait si longtemps que j'attends que tu rentres mais

De ma mémoire tu disparais

Je t'attends comme si t'allais rentrer

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Encore toute une nuit à rêver de ton retour

Mais l'réveil me replonge dans ce cauchemar

Sans toi, je m'ennuie, je souris

Quand j'repense aux discussions qu'on avait matins et soirs

Je pense tellement à toi

Parfois, j'ai l'impression d'entendre le son de ta voix

Plus les années passent et plus je réalise à quel point

J'avais de la chance de t'avoir

Tout semble faux, j'en perds mes mots, que vais-je devenir?

Je garde espoir de te revoir dans un proche avenir

Je t'attends comme si t'allais rentrer

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Les souvenirs ne cessent de me hanter

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Ça fait si longtemps que j'attends que tu rentres mais

De ma mémoire tu disparais

Je t'attends comme si t'allais rentrer

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Je t'attendrai encore, encore et encore

Tant que mon corps supportera ton absence

Je t'attendrai encore, encore et encore

J'attendrai que tu rentres

Je t'attends comme si t'allais rentrer

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Les souvenirs ne cessent de me hanter

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer

Ça fait si longtemps que j'attends que tu rentres mais

De ma mémoire tu disparais

Je t'attends comme si t'allais rentrer

Tu vas me manquer, tu vas me manquer
