I Will Forget You, I Will Forget You

--Isabelle Boulay

Let my sheets remember
Our livid mornings
Let the blood of my veins
Curdle or empty

Let my fingers retain
Only the scent of your skin
Let my body belong to you
Well beyond words

I will forget you
I will forget you
I will forget you
Let everything around me
Remember you
I will forget you

Let my feet remember
The sand where you walked
Let your voice come back to mind
In a supermarket aisle

Let the television set
Reflect your gaze on me
Let your first name be called
Over the airport intercom

I will forget you
I will forget you
I will forget you
Let everything around me
Remember you
I will forget you

The sun and the moon
Would remember you
So how can you expect me
To forget so suddenly

Even if in my sleep
I touch you, I see you
And I cannot distinguish
Day from night

I will forget you
I will forget you
I will forget you
Let everything around me
Remember you
I will forget you

Nothing will be the same
After having loved you
I don't recognise
The places we visited

Your eyes set fire
To my dreams, my desires
And you turned aside
The line of my life

Let the neon of the cities
Set a rendezvous with you
In those bars where all the girls
Are the same, everywhere

And let the tall white walls
Of my apartment
Close in on me
Like a Cinerama screen

I will forget you
I will forget you
I will forget you
Let everything around me
Remember you
I will forget you

LOL, dang it! you beat me to a translation! ;-)

... bah; yours is better than mine anyway. :-D ** applauds **

I think I like the... sound of the English lyrics better than the French. Maybe it's because I can identify with the English, while the French, for me, is pretty noise.

Aiyeeeeeee! This is a lovely surprise--really my comment about not grokking the lyrics wasn't a veiled plea. Honest. ^^; I was maundering along the lines of how gee, one doesn't need to grok the lyrics to be flattened by the emotion. But I won't look a gift translation in the mouth. Am also t00bily pleased that my 12K song call more or less holds up. *smack*
