Je n'avais qu'un seul mot à lui dire (I only had one word to say to him)

Translation after the jump...


A short one...

Elle était à mes côtés
She was by my side
J'n'ai pas su la retenir
I wasn't able to restrain

Je n'avais qu'un seul mot à lui dire
I only had one word to say to him
"Je t'aime", alors peut-être
"I love you", then maybe

Lyrics by Serge Gainsbourg, Translation by Greg Smith
