Just once I would like to forget about
your eyes that remind me of him!
When your gaze wanders aimlessly your silence screams
and I hear your hopes and your
dreams!

I regret things I've done but I'll do
what I can to get through each day that I live, I give, I take!
We'll have to hide, to cheat with our time,
Secretly meeting,
all these times are sublime,
these moments are divine!

Just once I'd like to dare to say something,
but I let you dream of pretty places!
When modesty forbids the slightest burst of scream
or of lecture, I'm silently weeping!

I regret things I've done but I'll do
what I can to get through each day that I live!
We'll have to hide, to cheat with our time,
Secretly meeting, all these times are sublime,
these moments are divine!

Seeing my face in this violent mirror,
I forgive your trips towards burning shores!
Memories of you in your youth,
memories of myself feeling sweetly helpless!

Memories of you getting me drunk,
memories of myself, just thinking of you!
You've made yourself the dawn of my wisdom and I go,
your promise, buried with me!

I regret things I've done but I'll do
what I can to get through each day that I live, I give, I take!
We'll have to hide, to cheat with our time,
Secretly meeting, all these times are sublime!
