Translation of the song lyrics True To You - Johnny Hallyday

True To You (original)

Il y a des soirs
Comme de grands trous noirs
Où l’on s’abandonne
Seul et sans personne
Pourtant en sursaut
On repart à l’assaut
Because
I’ll be true to you
I’ll be true to you
I’ll be true to you
Il y a des soirs
Où le désespoir
Devient une force
Quand jaillit sous l'écorce
De l’arbre qu’on croit mort
De la sève encore
Because
I’ll be true to you
I’ll be true to you
I’ll be true to you
C’est ton souvenir
Au plus fort de l’absence
Qui me fait tenir
Le silence
Semble même, me parler, parfois
De toi
Comment oublier
Que je t’ai promis
De ne pas sombrer?
Même quand la folie
Veut me prendre à toi
Je résiste malgré moi
Because
I’ll be true to you
I’ll be true to you
I’ll be true to you

(translation)

There are evenings
Like big black holes
where we surrender
Alone and without anyone
Yet startled
We're back on the attack
Because
I'll be true to you
I'll be true to you
I'll be true to you
There are evenings
where despair
Becomes a strength
When springs from under the bark
Of the tree believed to be dead
More sap
Because
I'll be true to you
I'll be true to you
I'll be true to you
It's your memory
At the height of absence
that makes me hold
The silence
Even seems to talk to me sometimes
Of you
How to forget
That I promised you
Not to sink?
Even when madness
Wants to take me to you
I resist in spite of myself
Because
I'll be true to you
I'll be true to you
I'll be true to you
