Le prochain amour
Jacques Brel
The Next Love
No matter what we do, no matter what we say
Forewarned is forearmed
No matter what you do, no matter what you say
It feels good to be in love
I know, I know that this next love
Will be the next defeat for me
I already know at the entrance of the party
The dead leaf that will be the dawn
I know, I know, without knowing your first name
That I will be your next capture
I already know it's from their whisper
Let the ponds put the rivers in prison
But whatever we do, whatever we say
Forewarned is forearmed
No matter what we do, no matter what we say
It feels good to be in love
I know, I know that this next love
Won't live until next summer
I already know that kissing time
For two paths there is only one crossroad
I know, I know that this next happiness
Will be the next war for me
I already know this awful prayer
That you have to cry when the other is the winner
But whatever we do, whatever we say
Forewarned is forearmed
No matter what we do, no matter what we say
It feels good to be in love
I know, I know that this next love
Will be for us to live a new reign
Whose chains we both believe we carry
Which we will believe the other has velvet
I know, I know that my tender weakness
Will make us enemy ships
But my heart knows enemy ships
Going together to fish for tenderness
Because whatever we do, whatever we say
Forewarned is forearmed
No matter what you say
It feels good
To be in love
