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
_____
Tonight, don't forget me
_____
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
