Ils avaient l'air de s'aimer comme avant
Et leurs mains se prenaient comme avant
Et pourtant quelquechose dans l'air
Ne chantait plus comme avant


They seemed to love each other like before
And their hands were holding like before
However something in the air
Didn't sing like before
Moi qui les connaissaient bien
Je les voyaient de tr?s loin
Mais c'?tait comme si j'entendais
Chaque mot qu'ils se disaient


Me who knew them well
I was seeing them from very far away
But it was like if I was hearing
Each word they were telling to each other
Non, non, pas de phrases inutiles
Tout est trop difficile
Il vaut mieux qu'on se quitte


No, no, no useless sentences
Everything is too hard
It's better if we part
Il y avait au ciel des man?ges de tourterelles
Et je pleurais
Il y avait le lac et des cygnes dans leurs ailes
Blanc comme l'hiver qui m'attendait

There was in the sky merry-go-rounds of turtledoves
And I was crying
There was a lake and some swans in their wings
As white as the winter waiting for me
Entre elle et lui mon destin se jouait
Je jouais ? choisir lequel m'emm?nerait
Mais mon coeur partag? chaque fois
Ne se d?cidait pas
Il a tourn? le dos, je l'ai vu s'en aller
Elle a redescendu le sentier
Et d'une voix qui tremblait elle m'a dit:
«Mon enfant, tu restes avec moi, , ,


Between she and him my destiny was played
I was playing to chose which one will take me
But my heart broken each time
Wasn't able to chose
He turned his back, I saw him leaving
She went down the footpath
And with a trembling voice she told me:
";My child, you stay with me, , ,
Tu restes avec moi, , , »


You stay with me, , , ";
