But for real, "Ton autre chemin" is THE Stan and Ford song, check out this translation.
"As far back as I can remember
Snippets of childhood, bits of a scene
Your eyes, your face and your hand in my hand
And our footsteps on the same path
Oh, we weren't very talkative
A little strange, a little apart
I loved your silences and you loved mine
You were a little different
A little contemptuous of all their childish games
I received your first poems
Like a few words lulled to sleep
Our laughter was laughter and our sorrow was sorrow
Each touching the other in echo
I played you my first notes
You listened with half-closed eyes
Simple and clumsy, a little false, a little silly
But all I could hear was your bravos
As I bowed in front of the piano
We began to lose touch in our teens
I found you a little too austere
A little too serious, a little too secretive
I needed music, light and futility
Your friendship was demanding, whole and exclusive
And then you began to be absent
Your mother told us you were going on vacation
She wasn't lying when I think back
A holiday of life, a holiday of envy
Tell me the voices, the desires that drive you
Tell me the winds and currents that carry you along
The fixed ideas and nails that rivet you
In what wanderings, motionless drifts
Tell me the dreams that knock at your door
The illusions, the devils that carry you away
To what other place, a mirage without anguish
No time lost, no second passing
What do you think of when evening comes?
What hopes do your four walls hold?
What should we read in your silly smile?
Other desires, speechless and wordless?
Tell me your signs and tell me your language
The horizons of your cage bars
Do you see white, sky blue and pink?
What do you see when your eyelids close?
And then, here I am, telling you about my life
Its level, its troubles, its desires
Its vain race and my lack of friends
To your empty eyes, your bewildered absence
As far back as I can remember
Snippets of childhood, bits of scene
Your voice, your face and your hand in my hand
And our steps on the same path
And our steps on the same path
