Lyrics[]
À force de prier, chaque nuit, chaque jour
À force d’implorer tous les dieux de l’amour
À force de chanter ton nom comme un poème
À force de t’aimer, il faudra que tu m’aimes
À force de prier du profond de mon cœur
Et de désespérer de trouver le bonheur
Lorsque j’aurai pleuré jusqu’au bout de ma peine
À force d’appeler, il faudra que tu viennes
À force de prier et de vivre d’espoir
Le soleil s’est levé déchirant le brouillard
Je vais pouvoir chanter, crier, crier victoire
Il est venu mon tour, il est venu ce jour
By persistently praying, every night, every day
By persistently begging all the gods of love
By persistenly singing your name like a poem
By persistenly loving you, it will be necessary that you love me
By persistently praying from the depth of my heart
And by despairing to find the happiness
When I will have cried until my sorrow is over
By persistently calling, it will be necessary that you come
By persistently praying and by living of hope
The sun rose painfully on the fog
I’m going to be able to sing, shout, shout victory
My turn came, this day came
