Translation of the song lyrics Apres Toi - Vicky Leandros

Apres Toi (original)

Tu t’en vas
L’amour a pour toi
Le sourire d’une autre
Je voudrais
Mais ne peux t’en vouloir
Desormais
Tu vas m’oublier
Ce n’est pas de ta faute
Et pourtant
Tu dois savoir.
Qu’apres toi
Je ne pourrai plus vivre
Non
plus vivre
Qu’en souvenir de toi
Apres toi
J’aurai les yeux humides
Les mains vides
Le coeur sans joie.
Avec toi
J’avais appris a rire
Et mes rires
Ne viennent que par toi
Apres toi
Je ne serai que I’ombre
De ton ombre
Apres toi.
Meme un jour
Si je fais ma vie
Si je tiens la promesse
Qui unit deux etres pour toujours
Apres toi
Je pourrai peut-etre
Donner de ma tendresse
Mais plus rien
De mon amour.

Apres Toi (translation)

You go away
Love has for you
Another's smile
I would like
But can't blame you
From now on
You will forget me
It's not your fault
And yet
You have to know.
What after you
I can't live anymore
Nope
no longer live
That in remembrance of you
After you
I will have wet eyes
Empty-handed
The joyless heart.
With you
I had learned to laugh
And my laughter
Only come through you
After you
I will only be a shadow
Of your shadow
After you.
Even one day
If I make my life
If I keep the promise
Which unites two beings forever
After you
I might be able
Give of my tenderness
But nothing more
Of my love.
