Je Suis Désolé Lyrics

We are leaving, leaving
Leaving on the tide
Come and stand beside me, love
The water is so wide
You can hear the sailors calling
At the dawning of the day
Yesterday is falling, love
And je suis désolé
Je suis désolé

Oh, je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça
Je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça

I am turning, turning
From a land tha I love well
Look ahead, my darling one
Across the rolling swell
You can hear the seagulls crying
As we're slipping out of the bay
Yesterdy is dying, love
And je suis désolé
Je suis désolé

Oh, je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça
Je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça

We are sailing, sailing
For a land that's proud and free
I have no more endurance for
What has become of me
But I will do which I must do, love
Now we're underway
All that I can say to you
Is je suis désolé
Je suis désolé

Oh, je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça
Je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça

Oh, je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça
Je suis désolé
Mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé
Mais la vie me demande ça

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
