Translation

Sweet Love

Sweet love - to love, like I love you

Since you have been around

I only think of you

You take up all my time

You're all that I expect1

I so need to love you

to understand you, to be loved

to take you in my arms

And surely you know why

Sweet love - to love, like I love you

We must walk hand in hand

to better get one another2

to avoid forgetting

all that comes from the past

And once again

It might be the last time

It is easy for you

and it is, for me, too3

Sweet love - to love, like I love you

Love doesn't often come

knocking at the right time4

When it does come to you

' gotta know how to receive it5

We have that special chance

since we are together

No need to ponder what to do

just let Time do its thing6

Sweet love - to love, like I love you

1. you to be
2. comprehend what the other means
3. lit. "It is easy for me
4. implied "knocking on one's door"
5. here, the omission of the "you" works both to mirror the original ("faut", short for "il faut") and to round the syllables to 8, instead of an uneven 9
6. lit. one must give time for Time to act

Author's comments:

Please note:
If translated literally, the title "aimer d'amour" would be "to love lovingly" or " to love of love" (which sounds redundant). Instead, I opted for "sweet love" which might better convey the idea of loving with pure love energy only.

Own translation. Attempt at keeping both meaning and meter while keeping some sort of singability.

Il est à noter que le titre n'est pas traduit littéralement.
"Aimer d'amour", soit "to love lovingly" ou "to love of love", a été traduit par "sweet love" afin de mieux mettre en avant le caractère de l'amour décrit dans le texte d'origine.

Ceci est ma propre traduction.
Le but premier était d'y retranscrire les idées, bien que j'ai aussi essayé de préserver le rythme et de rendre le tout "chantable."
