Lyrics of J'oublierai ton nom - Johnny Hallyday, Carmel

J'oublierai ton nom (original)

De semaines inutiles en futiles dimanches
De secondes immobiles aux aiguilles qui penchent
J’oublierai ton nom
De quatre nouveaux murs dans un autre quartier
De pinceaux de peinture en meubles à installer
J’oublierai ton nom
De la piste suante à la dernière danse
De quelques nuits de feu aux matinées de cendres
De cette agitation dénuée de tout sens
Du fond de ma raison jusqu'à mon inconscience
De la main d’un ami au baiser d’une bouche
Tous ceux qui sauront lire que le mal a fait mouche
J’oublierai ton nom
J’oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
Me fait plus mal encore
J’aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore
I know it’s been tough
I’ve hurt you enough
But you’ll never see
That I must be free
Forget my name
You’ll find someone, somewhere
All your troubles to share
She’ll wipe out the past
And fell at last
Forget my name
All the good and bad times
We’ve ever had
Will seem so far away
Will be lonely sad
There’s hundreds of ways
To kill away the time
That’s how you are made
You know you’ll never be mine
De la main d’un ami
Au baiser d’une bouche
Tous ceux qui sauront lire
Que le mal a fait mouche
J’oublierai ton nom
J’oublierai ton nom
De …

(translation)

From useless weeks to futile Sundays
From still seconds to leaning hands
I will forget your name
Four new walls in another neighborhood
From paint brushes to furniture to install
I will forget your name
From the sweaty track to the last dance
From a few nights of fire to mornings of ashes
Of this meaningless commotion
From the depths of my reason to my unconsciousness
From the hand of a friend to the kiss of a mouth
Anyone who can read that evil has hit the bull's eye
I will forget your name
I will forget your name
in a thousand ways
And this certainty
Hurts me more
I loved this wound
it was you again
I know it's been tough
I've hurt you enough
But you'll never see
That I must be free
Forget my name
You'll find someone, somewhere
All your troubles to share
She'll wipe out the past
And fell at last
Forget my name
All the good and bad times
We've ever had
Will seem so far away
Will be lonely sad
There's hundreds of ways
To kill away the time
That's how you are made
You know you'll never be mine
From a friend's hand
At the kiss of a mouth
Anyone who can read
That evil has hit the bull's eye
I will forget your name
I will forget your name
Of …
