Un Secret Lyrics in English Carla Bruni
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Secret by Carla Bruni from French to English.
Il y avait un secret
There was a secret
Un secret très ancien
A very ancient secret
Caché au fond de soi
Hidden deep inside
Mais caché si profond et enterré si loin
But hidden so deep and buried so far
Qu'on ne sait plus pourquoi
That nobody knew why anymore
Par-dessus ce secret avaient poussé des fleurs
Over that secret flowers had grown
Des prairies, des sous-bois
Meadows, groves
Et l'on n'y pensait plus
And we didn't think about it anymore
À ce secret perdu
About that lost secret
Qui dormait sous nos pas
That slept beneath our feet
À ce secret perdu
About that lost secret
Qui dormait sous nos pas
That slept beneath our feet
Qui dormait sous nos pas
That slept beneath our feet
C'est un secret fragile
It's a fragile secret
Que l'on avait enfoui là
That we'd buried there
Au plus petit de soi
In the tiniest part of us
Comme un jouet cassé, tout au fond d'une malle
Like a broken toy, at the bottom of a trunk
Avec un cœur qui bat
With a heart that beats
Entre une vieille poupée
Between an old doll
Un crayon, une balle
A crayon, a ball
Un dessin poussiéreux
A dusty drawing
Son cœur battait toujours comme un ancien tambour
Its heart still beat like an ancient drum
Un tambour douloureux
A painful drum
Comme un ancien tambour
Like an ancient drum
Un tambour amoureux
A lovesick drum
Un tambour amoureux
A lovesick drum
Il y avait un secret, enfermé quelque part
There was a secret, locked up somewhere
Quelque chose d'oublié
Something forgotten
Qui nous serrait le cœur, qui semait la douceur
That squeezed our hearts, that sowed sweetness
L'amour, l'inespéré
Love, the unforeseen
Et ce drôle de secret déchirait à belles dents
And that weird secret tore with sharp teeth
Tout ce que l'on croyait
Everything we believed
Tout ce que l'on gardait contre soi tendrement
Everything we held tenderly against us
Tout ce que l'on aimait, tout ce que l'on aimait
Everything we loved, everything we loved
Il y avait un secret
There was a secret
Qui venait d'autrefois
That came from long ago
Précieux comme un diamant
Precious like a diamond
Qui racontait nos vies, inutiles et perdues
That told our lives, useless and lost
Nos tendresses, nos tourments
Our tenderness, our torments
Le secret de l'ennui
The secret of boredom
Le secret d'un instant
The secret of a moment
Il y a bien un secret, un murmure ou un cri
There's really a secret, a whisper or a cry
Quelque part qui attend
Somewhere that's waiting
Un murmure ou un cri
A whisper or a cry
Quelque part qui attend
Somewhere that's waiting
Un murmure ou un cri
A whisper or a cry
Quelque part qui attend
Somewhere that's waiting
