We met just long enough to please
The demands we made up for ourselves
You're only a few kilometers away
And our hearts, our hearts stayed
I ran along the Seine
I ran without knowing how
Or why we're getting carried away
We only knew each other for a moment
And I don't know anymore if you're worth it
It's pretty hard to be sure of it
And when you're at Porte des Ternes
I'll wait for you at least long enough to say
That I wanted to take the biggest risk
One night that made me really sad
One night, Place de la République
And as you see, this really is the end
I have to cross the ocean tomorrow morning
I'll tear myself from your arms completely
And reality's what's waiting for me
I know, your heart's inhabited
By one or other girls who've marked you
I'm weaker than the others
But I hope you'll miss me so much
And I don't know anymore if you're worth it
It's pretty hard to be sure of it
And when you're at Porte des Ternes
I'll wait for you at least long enough to say
That I wanted to take the biggest risk
One night that made me really sad
One night, Place de la République
