Lyrics of A Demi mot - Coralie Clement

A Demi mot (original)

J’aimerais te dire qu’un jour c’est sur
J’oublierai forcément le pire
A nouveau je pourrai sourire
Je ne longerai plus les murs
J’aimerais te dire qu’un soir d'été
Je me ferai aux ecchymoses
Qui ont brisé ma vie en rose
Pour l'éternité
J’aurais voulu te dire aussi
Que l’amour ça n’a pas de prix
Que la peur et l’ennui
Ont gâche ta vie
Ont gâché ma vie
On se fera sans doute des aveux
On se surprend à se dire «Adieu
C'était bien, c'était bien
Mais adieu"
J’aimerais te dire qu’un jour ou l’autre
On ne connaitra plus rien l’un de l’autre
A nouveau on pourra se dire
Qu’il y a bien pire
J’aimerais te dire qu’une nuit d’ivresse
Je n’aurais plus vraiment de tendresse
Je dirais tout à demi mots
Je tournerais le dos
Et de dos,
On se fera sans doute des aveux
On se surprend à se dire «Adieu
C'était bien, mais adieu»

(translation)

I would like to tell you that one day it's on
I will inevitably forget the worst
I can smile again
I won't walk around the walls anymore
I would like to tell you that on a summer evening
I'll get bruised
Who broke my life in pink
For eternity
I wanted to tell you too
That love is priceless
Than fear and boredom
Have ruined your life
ruined my life
We'll probably make confessions
We find ourselves saying "Goodbye
It was good, it was good
But farewell"
I would like to tell you that one day or another
We won't know each other anymore
Again we can say
That there is much worse
I would like to tell you that a drunken night
I wouldn't really have tenderness anymore
I would say everything in half words
I would turn my back
And from behind,
We'll probably make confessions
We find ourselves saying "Goodbye
It was good, but goodbye”
