[English]

The other day I argued with my love
The other day I argued with my husband
And now ...

His hands no longer touch my neck
His hands no longer touch my waist
His hands no longer stroke my hair
He no longer looks me in the eye
And my heart aches

Chorus:
I love him so! I love my darling so much!
I love him so!
I will always follow my love

His hands no longer touch my neck
His hands no longer touch my waist
His hands no longer touch my breasts
His hands no longer caress my head
And my heart aches

Chorus x 2

His hands no longer caress my breasts
His hands no longer touch my waist
His hands no longer caress my hair
His hands no longer touch my neck
His hands no longer touch mine ...

Yesterday I argued with my love, my darling
Yesterday I argued with my husband

Chorus:
But I love you so dearly!
But I love you darling so dearly!
I will love you forever
I will love you always

Your hands no longer touch my neck
Your hands no longer touch my waist
Your hands no longer stroke my hair
You no longer look me in the eye
And my heart aches
Hodounannnnyeeeee Hodounannnn

Chorus

Your hands no longer touch my neck
Your hands no longer touch my waist
Your hands no longer stroke my hair
You no longer look me in the eye
And my heart aches
Hodounannnnyeeeee Hodounannnn
Hodounannnnyeeeee

But I love you so dearly!
But I love you darling so dearly!
I will love you forever
I will love you always
But I love you so dearly!
But I love you darling so dearly!
I will love you forever
I will love you always
But I love you so dearly!
But I love you darling so dearly!
I will love you forever
I will love you always

[French]

L'autre jour je me disputais avec mon amour
L'autre jour je me disputais avec mon mari
Et maintenant ...

Ses mains ne touchent plus mon cou
Ses mains ne touchent plus ma taille
Ses mains ne caressent plus mes cheveux
Il ne me regarde plus dans les yeux
Et mon cœur souffre

Chorus:
Mais je l'aime tellement ! J'aime tellement mon chéri !
Je l'aime tellement !
Je suivrai toujours mon amour

Ses mains ne touchent plus mon cou
Ses mains ne touchent plus ma taille
Ses mains ne caressent plus mes seins
Ses mains ne caressent plus ma tête
Et mon cœur souffre

Chorus x 2

Ses mains ne caressent plus mes seins
Ses mains ne touchent plus ma taille
Ses mains ne caressent plus mes cheveux
Ses mains ne touchent plus mon cou
Ses mains ne touchent plus les miennes ...
