La Jetée Lyrics in English Laura Cahen
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Jetée by Laura Cahen from French to English.
Calme, la mer efface la peine
Calm, the sea erases the pain
L'émoi pour si plaire
The thrill just to please
Les jeunes filles en été se baignent
Young girls bathe in summer
Sous la jetée
Under the jetty
La jetée, la jetée, le phare
The jetty, the jetty, the lighthouse
Je m'y suis jetée un soir
I threw myself there one night
Le vent si fort m'y poussait
The wind so strong pushed me there
M'y poussait
Pushed me there
Impossible et sublime mon amour pour toi
Impossible and sublime, my love for you
S'abîma mais
Was ruined, though
Jeune fille, cette fois, je me baignais
Young girl, this time, I was bathing
Sans y penser
Without thinking
La jetée, la jetée, le phare
The jetty, the jetty, the lighthouse
Je m'y suis jetée un soir
I threw myself there one night
Le vent si fort m'y poussait
The wind so strong pushed me there
M'y poussait
Pushed me there
Te toucher, te toucher dans le noir
To touch you, to touch you in the dark
Je m'y suis noyée, c'est trop tard
I drowned there, it's too late
Jamais plus je n'y reviendrai
I'll never return there
Le foulard, ma médaille
The scarf, my medal
Flottés les mots vagues
Vague words floated
J'ai toujours cette bague
I still have this ring
Je me souviens la jeter
I remember throwing it
La jetée, la jetée, le phare
The jetty, the jetty, the lighthouse
Je m'y suis jetée un soir
I threw myself there one night
Le vent si fort m'y poussait
The wind so strong pushed me there
M'y poussait
Pushed me there
Te toucher, te toucher dans le noir
To touch you, to touch you in the dark
Je m'y suis noyée, c'est trop tard
I drowned there, it's too late
Jamais plus je n'y reviendrai
I'll never return there
Plus jamais
Never again
La jetée, la jetée
The jetty, the jetty
La jetée, la jetée
The jetty, the jetty
La jetée, la jetée
The jetty, the jetty
