Cela fait bien longtemps que je te connaissais, mon coeur
Cela fait bien longtemps que je te connaissais
Et tu ne savais pas ce que c'est que d'aimer, mon coeur
Et tu ne savais pas ce que c'est que d'aimer

["It's been a long time since I knew you, my heart
It's been a long time since I knew you
And you didn't know what it means to love, my heart
And you didn't know what it means to love"]
