Could someone speaking French translate this song for me, please? :)

It would be extra amazing if you could break it up:
"word-for-word translated" (how you would translate it)

I have tried google, but it gives me some results that kinda makes me wonder if I'm even translating the correct song, and I know that it's easily mistaken for another more popular (just guessing) French song.

Beneath are the French lyrics I think are correct, but I also get lost when I follow it, so I'm unsure. When I try to google lyrics-translating sites, I get something that seems a little off, so I'm hoping some of you guys might help me ^_^

Demi-chemins spars
Je ne veux pas dire de coeurs dchirs
Mais il a fallu un temps fou
Car la distance a vol
L'esprance d'un vrai chemin
Ce rien ne le fraterni-t'aimer comme une soeur
Mais c'est jamais ou pas
Je n'ai pas voulu vivre comme un inconnu
Mais je ne savais pas que tes anges seraient les miens
Je n'ai jamais su que ce que j'ai vcu pouvait me mener a a
Dcidant d'veiller mon destin
Si seulement le temps avait pu dire et nous accorder
De ne pas nous juger
Si seulement la lumire pouvait renatre
Et nous pardonner de s'tre efface
Je parlerai du temps perdu
Nous deux ce n'est jamais foutu
Mme si de bons moments nous ont chapp
Nous ont gliss des mains baby
Vers d'autres lendemains
Car dsormais je fermerai les yeux
Tu n'as pas voulu vivre comme un inconnu
Mais tu ne savais pas que mes anges seraient les tiens
Tu n'as jamais su que ce que tu as vcu pouvait te mener a a
Dcidant d'veiller ton destin
Si seulement le temps avait pu dire et nous accorder
De ne pas nous juger
Si seulement la lumire pouvait renatre
Et nous pardonner de s'tre efface

Separate half-paths
I don't mean torn hearts
But it took forever
'Cause the distance has flown
The hope of a true path
This nothing fraternizes it-loving you like a sister
But it's never or not
I didn't want to live like a stranger
But I didn't know your angels would be mine
I never knew what I've been through could lead me to this
Deciding to awaken my destiny
If only time could tell and grant us
Not to judge us
If only the light could be reborn
And forgive us for fading away
I'll talk about wasted time
The two of us are never fucked up
Even if good times have eluded us
Slipped from our hands baby
Towards other tomorrows
'Cause now I'll close my eyes
You didn't want to live like a stranger
But you didn't know my angels would be yours
You never knew what you've been through could lead you to this
Deciding to awaken your destiny
If only time could tell and grant us
Not to judge us
If only the light could be reborn
And forgive us for fading away

@Robot2600

Thanks, I tried mentioning that google and translating makes me wonder a little. I have been to lyrics-translate sites that gives be different "answers" than what seems to be directly translated :)

I appreciate your google translation, but I have actually used that tool myself, but since it's such a foreign language to me, it's hard for me to know if it correct or not.

Are you French and feel that what google does is an adequate job, by any chance?

no im american but i took french when i was 6-12 years old, and then later took 4 semesters of french in college. the translation looked accurate so i looked up the words i didnt know in a french dictionary and google was right. having the short, simple lines is easy for the translator.

okay i see some errors, im fixing it

Hey, when you use the translate extension for Chrome it auto translates my account name.

I forgot La Pucelle was all a bunch of Frenchy things.

I added some punctuation to parts, and changed some stuff to make a little more sense in English.

Separate half-paths,
I don't mean torn hearts,
...But it took forever
'Cause the distance [increases like a bird flying away]

The hope of a true path
this is nothing but friendship-loving you like a sister
But it's now or never
I didn't want to live like a stranger

But I didn't know your angels would be mine
I never knew what I've been through could lead me to this
Deciding to awaken my destiny
If only time could tell and grant us

Not judge us,
If only the light could be reborn
And forgive us for fading away

I'll talk about wasted time
The two of us are never fucked up
Even if good times have eluded us
Slipped from our hands, baby,
let's go to other tomorrows

'Cause now I'll close my eyes
You didn't want to live like a stranger
But you didn't know my angels would be yours
You never knew what you've been through could lead you to this

Deciding to awaken your destiny
If only time could tell, and grant us,
Not judge us,
If only the light could be reborn
And forgive us for fading away
