Pourquoi tu restes
Amel Bent • From “MINUIT UNE”
Pourquoi tu restes Lyrics Translation – MINUIT UNE Soundtrack
Bent asks why her lover stays when his feelings have faded. She describes their home as impersonal as a train station lobby where they pass like strangers. Her words express confusion about his continued presence.
Pourquoi Tu RestesWhy are you staying?
T’as Bien Retourne Ta VesteYou’ve completely changed your tune.
Tu M’dis Meme Plus Je T’aime Ca S’voit Qu’tu Me DetestesYou don’t even say “I love you” anymore; it’s obvious that you hate me.
Alors Pourquoi Tu RestesSo why are you staying?
Pourquoi Tu RestesWhy are you staying?
Elles Sont Loin Tes PromessesYour promises are a distant memory.
Et Si C’est Pour Les Enfants T’inquiete Ils Sont Deja GrandsAnd if it’s for the kids, don’t worry, they’re already grown.
Si C’est Pour Eux Qu’tu RestesIf it’s for them that you’re staying.
Je M’demande Ou Ca Nous MeneI wonder where this is leading us.
J’apprends Chaque Jour A Faire Sans ToiEvery day, I’m learning how to get by without you,
Mais T’es Labut you’re still here.
Dis-moi Pourquoi Tu RestesTell me why you’re staying.
Si T’etais Vraiment HonneteIf you were truly honest,
Tu M’dirais ” J’suis Pas Heureux Vaut Mieux S’arreter Nous Deux “you’d tell me, “I’m not happy; it’s better if the two of us just stop.”
Mon Amour T’es Plus AmoureuxMy love, you’re not in love anymore.
Pourquoi Tu RestesWhy are you staying?
Tu Vois Bien Qu’ca Me BlesseYou can clearly see that it’s hurting me.
Faire Semblant D’aller Mieux Mais C’est La Fin Du JeuPretending that things are fine, but the game is over.
Mon Amour T’es Plus AmoureuxMy love, you’re not in love anymore.
Pourquoi Tu RestesWhy are you staying?
Pourquoi Tu RestesWhy are you staying?
Pour Mieux Me Laisser Peut-etreMaybe just so you can leave me for good later.
On Se Croise Dans Les Couloirs Comme Dans Un Hall De GareWe pass each other in the hallways like in a ‘train station lobby’.
T’attends Le Temps Qui ResteYou’re just waiting out whatever time remains.
Je M’demande Ou Ca Nous MeneI wonder where this is leading us.
J’apprends Chaque Jour A Faire Sans ToiEvery day, I’m learning how to get by without you,
Mais T’es Labut you’re still here.
Dis-moi Pourquoi Tu RestesTell me why you’re staying.
Si T’etais Vraiment HonneteIf you were truly honest,
Tu M’dirais ” J’suis Pas Heureux Vaut Mieux S’arreter Nous Deux “you’d tell me, “I’m not happy; it’s better if the two of us just stop.”
Mon Amour T’es Plus AmoureuxMy love, you’re not in love anymore.
Pourquoi Tu RestesWhy are you staying?
Tu Vois Bien Qu’ca Me BlesseYou can clearly see that it’s hurting me.
Faire Semblant D’aller Mieux Mais C’est La Fin Du JeuPretending that things are fine, but the game is over.
Mon Amour T’es Plus AmoureuxMy love, you’re not in love anymore.
