Translation of the song lyrics Ne me laisse pas l'aimer - Brigitte Bardot

Ne me laisse pas l'aimer (original)

Ne Me Laisse Pas L’aimer
Pourtant c’est lui que tu veux
Et tu m’oublies peu à peu
Je sais qu’un jour viendra
Tu tomberas dans ses bras
Mais il est déjà trop tard
Mais tu l’aimes déjà
Un jour il fera mouche
Tu tomberas sur sa bouche
Tu ne peux pas résister
Quand il vient te parler
Je vois tes yeux
Qui s’accrochent à ses yeux
Non tu ne peux pas résister
Il sait que c’est plus fort que toi
Et comme il te veux
Un jour il t’aura
Mais tu te prends à son jeu
Il est bien trop dangereux
Ah non tu ne vois pas
Comme il s’amuse de toi
Il ne faut plus le revoir
Il fera ton désespoir
Jamais oh non jamais
Ne le revois plus jamais
Il ne faut plus le revoir
Il ne faut plus le revoir
Il ne faut plus le revoir

Ne me laisse pas l'aimer (translation)

Do not let me love him, bar the gate of my longing,
Yet it is to him your wild heart is drawn,
And slowly I am sifted from your memory, grain by grain,
I know the day will dawn—inevitable, cold—
You will collapse into the hollow of his arms,
But midnight has struck; the hour is already lost,
Yet already you are a lamp lit by his name,
One day his arrow will find the secret seam,
Your lips will falter, stumbling onto his—
You cannot withstand the storm of his glance,
When he draws close, weaving his voice in your ear,
I see your eyes, thirsting for his shadow,
Clinging tight as ivy to the dark of his gaze,
No, you cannot withstand, surrender is written in you,
He knows the current in you runs deeper than your will,
And, as the night covets the moon, so he desires you,
One day you will be his harvest,
Yet you drift like a moth toward the theatre of his game,
He is a precipice—too perilous for your heart,
Ah, no—you do not see the gleam of danger in his smile,
How he toys with you, turning your hope to glass,
You must not cross his path again,
He will be the architect of your despair,
Never—oh, never—
See him no more, not ever again,
You must not cross his path again,
You must not cross his path again,
You must not cross his path again
