are for life - captured images of a time when

Ecoute moi joli
coeur
Tu n’es pas maître de ton destin
La vie se moque de nos désirs
Tes cris, tes larmes n’y changeront rien |
Poor wounded heart
Forever sad and blue
Thinking the sun, moon and stars
Owe their existence to you |
Sois sage mon
coeur d’enfant
Il ne faut pas faire le moindre bruit
Les fantômes ont le sommeil léger
Tais toi mon coeur |
Silence, foolish heart
Not a wistful word
The night is full of phantoms
That best be left unstirred |
Ce soir, je t’en
prie
Oublie la belle jeunesse
Candeur, tendresse
Les joies de printemps
Ephémère danse des jeunes amants
Oublie aussi l’âge tendre
La folie de s’éprendre
Eternellement de sentiments
Qui me hantent |
I beg of you,
Don’t fill my head with airy hopes
Of innocence and youth
The pageantry and plighted love
Between Beauty and Truth
Best not to drift on distant clouds
Rapt in dead poet’s themes
Nor tread upon the quiet graves
Of mislaid hopes and dreams |
Et quand tombe
la nuit
Ne me rappelle pas |
And when night falls
Don’t bring to mind, |
Ses yeux, ses
lèvres
Son rire, sa voix
Cette jeune fille qui
Ne me quitte pas |
Her eyes, her lips
The longing in her sigh,
The voice that repeats, ‘First loves
never die’ |
Ce n’est
qu’une
Illusion cruelle
Que de rêver
D’elle |
It’s just a cruel play
Of shadow and light
To muse upon
Such things in the night |

To the top...
Back...
