Greetings, friends!
Angsty Gil/Uma/Harry songfic.
Yes, the lyrics are French. Sorry for any errors.
"We're there for you, Gilly."
"For god's sake, Gil, I don't speak French!"
"We ride with the tide!"
"I love ya, idiot. We both do."
"We're sorry if the feeling isn't mutual.."
"We love you. We're there for you."
On s'est connu le temps de plaire
He couldn't believe he was here, Uma and Harry beside him. Happy. Content.
Aux exigences qu'on s'est crées mais on s'y perd
He felt alone, sometimes. Still a bit of an outcast. They'd always reassure him. He wasn't.
Tu n'es qu'à quelques kilomètres
The nostalgia, wishing for the times when everything was simple.
Et nos cœurs, nos cœurs sont restés dans cette mer
The memories that had a rustic feel to him. Chases through fields, swimming together, Uma yelling at him and Harry laughing.
J'ai couru en longeant la Seine
He cried alone, not wanting the others to see his pain. Putting on the smile just so others felt fine.
En espérant te retrouver, l'âme sereine
They always knew he was hiding something. But they trusted it was going to be okay.
J'ai couru sans savoir comment
Watching the stars, Uma's arms snaked around his waist, Harry leaning on his shoulder.
Ni pourquoi on s'emballe, on ne s'est connus qu'un moment
Cherishing what he had. While he had it. Knowing it wasn't going to last much longer.
Et je ne sais plus si tu en vaux la peine
The scars he covered. Holding his head high, moving forward. No matter what.
C'est plutôt dur d'en être certaine
The small kisses that the three exchanged. Not caring whether it was allowed or not.
Et quand tu seras à la Porte des Ternes
Walking down the alleys, through the markets. Bearing the pain.
Ce soir, ne m'oublie pas
Je t'attendrai au moins le temps de dire
He felt the pain, saw the blood on the glass. His blood.
What the hell was wrong with him?
Add that to the list of questions he could never answer.
Que j'ai voulu prendre le plus grand risqué
So many secrets… so many… sinking away…
They're his only anchor.
Un soir qui m'a rendue bien triste
Un soir, Place de la République
Surrounded by crowds, yet lonely.
Free, yet suffocating.
Fine, but broken.
Memories that were a part of him. Now, forever and always. Just as it was for the others.
Et comme tu vois, c'est bien la fin
Falling. Falling. Drowning. Breaking. Shattering. Who'll repair him now?
Je dois traversed l'océan demain matin
It'll be over soon. That's what he tells himself. It's a promise.
De tes bras, je m'arracherai tout doucement
Et c'est la réalité qui m'attend
Intimate glances. Promises made, meaningless.
He cries in secret, broken.
Je sais, ton cœur est habité
As the Sea Three lay under their covers, asleep, he's awake.
Par une ou d'autres filles qui t'ont marqué
Uma pulls her boys closer within sleep. He knows this happiness is fleeting. But he still treasures it.
Moi je suis moins forte que les autres
He takes the knife, ready to do what he planned to do.
Mais j'espère tant te manquer, tant me dèmarquer
He prepares himself. But he has no idea how much it will hurt until the blood spills all over his hands and arms.
Et je ne sais plus si tu en vaux la peine
"GIL!" Harry shouts, hearing him cry out in pain.
They run towards him. But he is already bleeding out.
C'est plutôt dur d'en être certaine
Crying, doing their best to keep him alive. Begging him not to die.
Et quand tu seras á la Porte des Ternes
He sees his life flash before his eyes. He feels his regrets bubble up, feels the pain of his lovers.
Ce soir, je m'oublie pas
He sees himself, he sees Harry and Uma. He sees their lament.
Je t'attendrai au moins le temps de dire
He watches as they die, jumping off the cliffs.
He'll see them again.
Que j'ai voulu prendre le plus grand risqué
They meet again. Spirits rejoicing before they are brought into new lives.
Un soir qui m'a rendue bien triste
They let go, praying to see each other again someday.
Un soir, Place de la République
As he fades away, he leaves behind the life he knew.
And a piece of his heart.
I'm just gonna go sit in the trash now...
Yes, I know there may be some errors in the song lyrics, or the song lyrics may not match.
I've just started learning French, so I'm a complete novice. Forgive me.
I chose this song because I understood the lyrics, but the feeling really inspired me. The sad romance feel. So the lyrics are out of context.
Hope you guys enjoyed.
