does this song have something to do with someone dying or leaving?

1. Tu viens de partir
Pour de longs mois
C'est long déjà
Tu es si loin
Si loin de moi
Trop loin de moi
Ma vie s'éteint
Quand tu t'en vas
Au fond de moi
Quand tu t'en vas
Je sais qu'il te faut partir
Et chaque fois
Je ne peux plus m'endormir
J'entends ta voix
La nuit je pense et je pleure
Et le silence me fait peur
C'est l'heure de dormir
Je veux te dire bonsoir

2. {Parlé:}
Bonsoir mon amour
Aujourd'hui je ne t'ai pas écrit
Pardonne-moi
J'ai trop de peine

{Chanté:}
Tu sais je m'ennuie sans toi
Je pense à toi
Je t'aime et n'aime que toi
Je rêve à toi
Bonsoir mon amour
Mon seul amour
Bonsoir

2. OK, my French is rusty but...

You left
For many months
It's long already
You are so far
So far from me
Too far from me
My life is extinguished
When you are gone
Away from me
When you are gone
I know you had to go
And each time
I can't sleep
I wait for your voice
At night i think and i cry
And the silence makes me afraid
It's the hour to sleep
I want to wish you goodnight

Goodnight my love
Today i did not write
Pardon me
I'm in too much pain

You know i miss you
I think of you
I love you and no one but you
I dream of you
Goodnight my love
My only love
Goodnight

5. My rudimentary French

probably makes it sound cheesier than it actually is. :D


Do you have a link to listen to it?

11. I think that's it Sally

The French just treasure the emotions related to longing and pining for love- where we think of them as painful, they see them as gloriously beautiful.
Most of the phrasing in that song there's no direct translation for ---they are funny like that

3. It's about someone leaving

and being missed.

You have just left
and already it seems like months
You are so far from me, too far from me
My life stops when you go

etc, etc

8. There is an English version of the song... quite moving...

9. It's about a large aquatic monster

that destroys NYC. Very moving.

10. Yes. Looks like you've gotten some translations.

It's really beautiful, but sad. Now I'm curious about the music.
