[Verse 1]

[Pont – plus doux, plus émouvant] · Bridge – softer, more moving

Le temps a passé depuis Cambrai,

Time has passed since Cambrai,

Et si c'était à refaire, je recommencerais,

And if I had to do it again, I would start over,

Je ne sais pas toujours comment te le dire,

I don't always know how to tell you,

Mais tu es celui avec qui je veux vieillir.

But you are the one I want to grow old with.

Tu ne dis pas les mots, mais tu fais tellement,

You don't say the words, but you do so much,

Tu nous as construit un bonheur simplement,

You simply built happiness for us,

Et si parfois je ne te le dis pas assez,

And if sometimes I don't tell you enough,

Sache que je mesure tout ce que tu as donné.

Know that I measure all you have given.

[Dernier refrain – crescendo] · Last chorus – crescendo

Mon chéri, mon amour, mon évidence,

My darling, my love, my obvious choice,

Merci d'avoir fait de nous ta famille,

Thank you for making us your family,

Merci pour ton cœur, ta patience,

Thank you for your heart, your patience,

Pour tous ces petits bonheurs qui brillent.

For all these little joys that shine.

Et si demain le monde devait changer,

And if tomorrow the world were to change,

Je sais encore vers qui je voudrais aller,

I still know who I would want to go to,

Après toutes ces années, je veux que tu saches,

After all these years, I want you to know,

Que ma plus belle histoire, c'est toi, mon Martial.

That my most beautiful story is you, my Martial.

[Outro – parlé doucement] · Outro – softly spoken

De ta gitane…

From your gypsy…

Celle que tu appelais déjà comme ça,

The one you already called that,

Avant même de la rencontrer…

Even before meeting her…

Je t'aime, mon chéri. ❤️

I love you, my darling. ❤️
