Il Est Parti Un Jour

He left one day
Saying I will come back
Yes, but since that day
A lot of time has passed
Oh, oh, oh
A lot of time has passed

He left one day
Saying be faithful to me
Swearing that his love
For me would be eternal
Oh, oh, oh
For me would be eternal

He left one day
And I waited for him
But I still wait
He did not return

He left one day
To distant landscapes
Of which he never
Sent me the slightest image
Oh, oh, oh
Sent me the slightest image

He left one day
And I waited for him
But I still wait
He did not return

He left one day
But I was wrong to have believed
Yes, believed in his return
Which I no longer expect
Oh, oh, oh
I make up for lost time
I make up for lost time
I make up for lost time
