(Liane Foly/André Manoukian/Philippe Viennet)
adaptation anglaise Peter Kingsbery

In looking for a trace of you I've all but combed the earth
I've dragged myself to one end back to where I started first
I lose count of the miles and all the bubbles that you burst
And at last I realise that I may live or die of thirst

In looking for a trace of you I've done more than I should
The comfort of a stranger's touch never did me any good
I ask again and again if I could have been misunderstood
I wait, waiting for what ? when I have done all that I could

And doucement I will forget doucement
I'll take every step doucement
Knowing I've lost all hope to find
A way to ever change your mind

In looking for a trace of you I've all but tempted fate
I've scaled the highest mountains beneath the Milky Way
To fall only to find prophets of love prophets of hate
To learn what I've known all along deep in my heart but could not say

And doucement I will forget doucement
I'll take every step doucement
Knowing I've lost all hope to find
A way to ever change your mind

Doucement I will forget doucement
I'll take every step doucement
Knowing I've lost all hope to find
A way to ever change your mind.
