I’m Looking for You
Cp1
| Je me souviens de tout Comme si c’était hier | I remember it all, like it was yesterday |
| De tes yeux, de ta bouche Et de la vue sur la mer | Your eyes, your lips, and the view of the sea |
| Je me souviens de nous Et comme on était beau | I remember us, and how beautiful we were |
| Ton prénom dans mes prières Et ton souffle sur ma peau | Your name in my prayers, and your breath on my skin |
Pr-ref
| Le jour où je t’ai perdu Il te manquait de l’espace | The day I lost you, you said you needed space |
| Si seulement je l’avais vu Je t’aurais laissé la place | If I had only seen it then, I’d have given it to you! |
Ref
| T’étais où? T’étais où? | Where were you? Where were you? |
| Toutes ces années passées sans toi Je t’ai cherché , tu n’étais plus là | All these years, passed, without you I searched for you, and you weren’t there! |
| T’étais où? T’étais où? | Where were you? Where were you? |
| J’avais tellement besoin de toi Je t’ai cherché | I needed you so much, I was looking for you! |
Cp2
| Là tu as fait ta vie Pris le risque de nous perdre | There, you made your life, at the risk of losing us |
| Dis-le moi si j’peux tout dire Pris le risque de nous perdre | Tell me if I can tell you everything, even if it risks breaking us |
| C’est le temps qui guérit Quand c’est l’amour qui blesse | Only time can heal, when it is love that breaks |
| Il en faudrait de la magie Pour que ton visage disparaisse | It will take divine intervention to remove you from my thoughts |

| Je veux que tu me dises si c’est cet enfant | I want you to tell me, was it the child |
