Translation of the song lyrics Même si (What You're Made Of) - Grégory Lemarchal, Nolwenn Leroy

Même si (What You're Made Of) (original)

Just like I predicted, we’re at the point of no return
We can go backwards and no corners have been turned
I can’t control it,
If I sink or if I swim
Cause I chose the waters that I’m in Ne jamais devoir choisir
Avoir raison ou tort
Au-delà de mes faiblesses
J’ai la force d’y croire encore
Même si l’amour s’enfuit
J’en inventerai les couleurs
S’il est trop tard pour revenir,
Je remonterai les heures
There’s no way, you’re changing,
'Cause some things
Will just never be mine,
You’re not in love this time… but it’s alright.
J’aurais voulu t’offrir le meilleur de tout mon être
Au lieu de partir, entre nous tout faire renaître
Plutôt que de mentir, aborder nos différences
T’aimer autrement qu'à contresens
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there’s only one thing I want
If it’s not what you’re made of You’re not what I’m looking for
You were willing but unable to give me anymore
Et ce dont je suis fait
Tout entier je saurai te le rendre
Même s’il faut tout apprendre, tout apprendre
What’s your definition of the one?
Comment définir l’amour sans toi?
Mais prêt à tous les sacrifices je refuse celui là
J’aurais voulu t’offrir le meilleur de tout mon être
'Cause these are the waters that I’m in
Même si l’amour s’enfuit
J’en inventerai les couleurs
S’il est trop tard pour revenir
Je remonterai les heures
Et ce dont je suis fait, tout entier
Je saurai te le rendre
Même s’il faut tout apprendre
Même s’il faut tout apprendre
Même s’il faut tout apprendre

Même si (What You're Made Of) (translation)

Just like I predicted, we're at the point of no return
We can go backwards and no corners have been turned
I can't control it,
If I sink or if I swim
Cause I chose the waters that I'm in Never having to choose
To be right or wrong
Beyond my weaknesses
I have the strength to still believe
Even if love runs away
I will invent the colors
If it's too late to come back,
I'll turn back the hours
There's no way, you're changing,
'Cause some things
Will just never be mine,
You're not in love this time… but it's alright.
I wanted to give you the best of my whole being
Instead of leaving, between us make everything reborn
Rather than lying, address our differences
To love you otherwise than in the opposite direction
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I serve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want
If it's not what you're made of You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable to give me anymore
And what I'm made of
All I can give back to you
Even if you have to learn everything, learn everything
What's your definition of the one?
How to define love without you?
But ready for any sacrifice I refuse this one
I wanted to give you the best of my whole being
'Cause these are the waters that I'm in
Even if love runs away
I will invent the colors
If it's too late to come back
I'll turn back the hours
And what I'm made of, all of it
I can give it back to you
Even if you have to learn everything
Even if you have to learn everything
Even if you have to learn everything
