Translation of Souffrir Par Toi N'est Pas Souffrir from French to English
If one day you want to come back
Without words, without tears, without even a smile
Nonchalantly and without holding back
Without disguising all the future with the past
In the evening when I see you smile
On this photo that means nothing
Under your old lamp that trembles and capsizes
You come grimacing in my memories
Now, as before
Gently, without paling, without lying, without suffering
Today, I tell you
To suffer because of you is not to suffer
It's like dying or making laugh
It's moving away from the world of the living
In the forest, seeing only the dead tree
Like one day you will surely come
In this living room that wastes its time
Let's never talk about our deserts again
And if you stay, I'll set the table
Now, as before
Gently, without paling, without lying, without suffering
Today, I tell you
All the journeys mean nothing
I know things that would make you laugh
I who piled up memories out of laziness
It's your old sweaters that I caress
Now, as before
Gently, let's stick to the present for life
Today, stay here
