The Life I Leave Behind

Verse 1: Par un matin lumineux, Depuis un balcon donnant sur Une rue de Paris, La romance de Paris, La majestueuse Paris, Là-bas, ma petite maison, Dans ma cuisine familière, Où l'odeur des pâtisseries flotte, La vanille et le café, Et le son de mon petit enfant Qui joue à côté. On a bright morning, From a balcony overlooking A street in Paris, The romance of Paris, Majestic Paris, Over there, my little house, In my familiar kitchen, Where the scent of pastries floats, Vanilla and coffee, And the sound of my little child Playing nearby. Chorus: Oh how I love you, my love, You saved me from drifting, You wiped away my tears, You gave me the happiness I thought I’d never find. Verse 2: But the past haunts me, They were not just nightmares, The bastards cannot live Without destroying, Without crushing the flowers. I won’t tell you any of this, my love, I’ll leave you a letter That will make you hate me forever, Because I don’t deserve you. Chorus: Forgive me, my love, Forgive me, my life, I’ll sacrifice myself because I love you And I love this little boy. I don’t want anyone to harm you, I will leave because I love you. Verse 3: I know it will be hard for you, I know you won’t be the same after me, But I’m sure you’ll protect our child, And that you’ll speak sweet words to him, I’ll find you one day, my love, And it will never leave me... Chorus: On a bright morning, From a balcony overlooking A street in Paris, The romance of Paris, Majestic Paris, Over there, my little house, In my familiar kitchen, Where the scent of pastries floats, Vanilla and coffee, And the sound of my little child Playing nearby. Chorus: Oh how I love you, my love, You saved me from drifting, You wiped away my tears, You gave me the happiness I thought I’d never find. oh, whoa whoa Chorus: Oh how I love you, my love, You saved me from drifting, You wiped away my tears, You gave me the happiness I thought I’d never find. oh, whoa whoa (end)
