J'ai touché le sable colombin
I touched the coiled sand
Vieilli de larmes et d'air salin
Aged with tears and salt air
J'ai porté le chandail d'automne
I wore the fall sweater
Que tu m'as laissé au mois d'octobre
That you left me in October
Qu'aurais-je pu faire pour te garder?
What could I have done to keep you?
Au moins un matin m'éveiller
At least one morning wake up
Sur les baies de ton Pacifique
On the bays of your Pacific
Le vent se lève, tirant les rênes
The wind rises, pulling the reins
D'un amour qui ne respirait
Of a love that didn't breathe
De nuits qui ne chantaient plus tes chansons
Of nights that no longer sang your songs
Qui de loin de nous ont eu raison
Who far from us were right
Mais moi, je t'attendrai là-bas
But I will wait for you there
Sur les rives, morte de froid
On the banks, frozen to death
Dans l'espoir que j'ai partagé
In hope that I shared
Avec moi seule pour constater
With me alone to see
Que tu ne m'atteins pas
That you don't reach me
Et c'est comme tous ces pas
And it's like all these steps
Que le sable pourra effacer
That the sand can erase
Du Pacifique, tant aimé
Of the Pacific, so beloved
Embrasse les filles, embrasse l'ouest
Kiss the girls, kiss the west
Loin de mes cris, de ma détresse
Far from my cries, from my distress
Tu m'oubliais à chaque seconde
You forgot me every second
Passée dans les bras d'une colombe
Passed into the arms of a dove
J'ai tant hurlé pour attraper
I screamed so hard to catch
Un instant de sincérité
A moment of sincerity
Sur les baies de ton Pacifique
On the bays of your Pacific
Le vent se lève, tirant les rênes
The wind rises, pulling the reins
D'un amour qui ne respirait
Of a love that didn't breathe
De nuits qui ne chantaient plus tes chansons
Of nights that no longer sang your songs
Qui de loin de nous ont eu raison
Who far from us were right
Mais moi, je t'attendrai là-bas
But I will wait for you there
Sur les rives, morte de froid
On the banks, frozen to death
Dans l'espoir que j'ai partagé
In hope that I shared
Avec moi seule pour constater
With me alone to see
Que tu ne m'atteins pas
That you don't reach me
Et c'est comme tous ces pas
And it's like all these steps
Que le sable pourra effacer
That the sand can erase
Du Pacifique, tant aimé
Of the Pacific, so beloved
