| J’me maitrise plus dans ces circonstances | In such moments my composure shatters— |
| Dois-je être sincère ou bien me taire | Must I stand naked in the light, or shroud |
| Laisser planer le mystère? | My heart with fog, let the riddle hang heavy? |
| Ne rien lui dire à quoi ça sert | If I tell him nothing, what is thus preserved? |
| Lui dévoiler est nécessaire | To reveal is as vital as breath for the drowning. |

| Y penser autant chez moi le soir | Thoughts of him haunt the corridors of my dusk, |
| Honnêtement ça n’me ressemble pas | Candor is a cloak I was not born to wear. |
| Comment peut-il ainsi ignorer | How can he pass, blind, through such signals? |
| Qu’entre ses mains il n’est qu’un objet | That in her hands, he is but a vessel— |
| Qu’elle le considère comme un jouet | That she toys with him, a plaything of whims— |
| Alors que moi il me plait! | While in my eyes, he gleams like flame! |
| Je le sens c’est lui l’homme de ma vie | I sense it—the man fated for my days. |

| Lui dire que maintenant j’ai des tourments | To tell him that now I am bruised by longing, |

| Lui montrer combien je peux l’aimer | To show him how fiercely I could love, |
| Mais tout cela ne reste qu’un souhait! | Yet all of this is but a wish, cast to silence! |
| Dis-lui! | Tell him! |

| Dis-lui! | Tell him! |
| Je n’y arrive pas | My voice betrays me. |
| Dis-lui! | Tell him! |
| En ai-je le droit? | May I lay such claim? |
| Dis-lui! | Tell him! |
| Je le veux pour moi | I want him—mine alone. |
| Dis-lui! | Tell him! |
| Je n’y crois pas | I cannot believe it. |
| Dis-lui! | Tell him! |
| Veut-il de moi? | Does he desire me? |
| Dis-lui | Tell him |
| C’est plus qu’un espoir! | This is more than mere hoping! |
| Dis-lui X4 | Tell him! Tell him! Tell him! Tell him! |
