French version:




What now my love, now that you've left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And all my hopes, into bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am none I've become unreal
I walk the night, oh without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love, now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
And there's a sky where the sea should be
What now my love, now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No-one would care, no-one would cry
If I should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing
Only my last good-bye
Only my last good-bye 




Standard tuning.
Intro:  D  Gm  D  (Tacet)
                D
    What now my love
    D
    Now that it's over
              Em  A                D
    How can I live through another day
                D
    Watching my dreams turn into ashes
               Em   A             D
    And all my hopes into bits of clay
                 G                 F#m
    Once I could see, once I could feel
              Em
    Now I'm a numb
           A      D
    I've become unreal
               G                    D
    I walk the night, oh, without a goal
                   Em        A     (Tacet)
    Stripped of my heart, my soul

    What now my love
    Now that you left me
    I feel the world closing in on me
    Here comes the stars
    Tumbling around me
    And there's the sky where the sea should be
    What now my love
    Now that you're gone
    I'd be a fool to go on and on
    No one would care, no one would cry
    If I should live or die
    What now my love
    Now there is nothing
    Only my last goodbye
    Only my last goodbye
    Only my last goodbye



French lyrics


Et maintenant, que vais-je faire
De tout ce temps que sera ma vie
De tous ces gens qui m'indiffèrent
Maintenant que tu es partie

Toutes ces nuits, pourquoi, pour qui
Et ce matin qui revient pour rien
Ce coeur qui bat, pour qui, pourquoi
Qui bat trop fort, trop fort

Et maintenant, que vais-je faire
Vers quel néant glissera ma vie
Tu m'as laissé la terre entière
Mais la terre sans toi c'est petit

Vous mes amis, soyez gentils
Vous savez bien que l'on n'y peut rien
Même Paris crève d'ennui
Toutes ses rues me tuent

Et maintenant, que vais-je faire
Je vais en rire pour ne plus pleurer
Je vais brûler des nuits entières
Au matin, je te haïrai

Et puis un soir, dans mon miroir
Je verrai bien la fin du chemin
Pas une fleur et pas de pleurs
Au moment de l'adieu

Je n'ai vraiment plus rien à faire
Je n'ai vraiment plus rien ...
