Below, I translated the lyrics of the song J’attendrai by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'attendrai, le jour et la nuit
I will wait, day and night
J'attendrai toujours ton retour
I will always wait for your return
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit vient chercher l'oubli
Because the bird that flees comes to seek oblivion
Le temps passe et court
Time passes and runs
En battant tristement
Beating sadly
Dans mon coeur si lourd
In my heavy heart
J'attendrai ton retour
I will wait for your return
Le jour et la nuit, j'attendrai toujours
Day and night, I'll always be waiting
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit vient chercher l'oubli
Because the bird that flees comes to seek oblivion
Le temps passe et court
Time passes and runs
En battant tristement
Beating sadly
Dans mon coeur si lourd
In my heavy heart
Et pourtant, j'attendrai
And yet I will wait
Reviens bien vite
Come back soon
Les jours sont froids
The days are cold
Et sans limite
And without limit
Les nuits sans toi
The nights without you
Quand on se quitte
When we part
On n'oublie tout
We don't forget everything
Mais revenir est si doux
But coming back is so sweet
Le jour et la nuit, j'attendrai toujours
Day and night, I'll always be waiting
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit vient chercher l'oubli
Because the bird that flees comes to seek oblivion
Le temps passe et court
Time passes and runs
En battant tristement
Beating sadly
Dans mon coeur si lourd
In my heavy heart
Et pourtant, j'attendrai
And yet I will wait
Les fleurs palissent
The flowers fade
Le feu s'éteint
The fire goes out
L'ombre se glisse
The shadow creeps
Dans le jardin
In the garden
L'horloge tisse
The clock weaves
Des sons très las
Very tired sounds
Je crois entendre tes pas
I think I hear your footsteps
Le jour et la nuit, j'attendrai toujours
Day and night, I'll always be waiting
Le jour et la nuit, j'attendrai toujours
Day and night, I'll always be waiting
