Torrent Lyrics in English Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Torrent by Dalida from French to English.
Comme un torrent qui vient tout droit de la montagne
Like a torrent that comes straight from the mountain
Et qui s'enfuit en bondissant parmi les champs
And who runs away leaping among the fields
Et couvrant dans la campagne
And covering in the countryside
Toutes les fleurs du printemps
All the flowers of spring
Mon cœur tout neuf est descendu parmi la ville
My brand new heart descended among the city
Gonflé d'amour et de bonheur à partager
Swollen with love and happiness to share
Mais mon âme est moins tranquille
But my soul is less peaceful
Depuis que j'ai tout quitté
Since I left everything
Là-haut tout est lumière
Up there, everything is light
En bas tout est chimère
Below everything is a pipe dream
Mais le torrent oublie bien vite sa montagne
But the torrent quickly forgets its mountain
Et comme lui suivant mon destin je descends
And like him following my destiny I go down
Et de colline en campagne
And from hill to countryside
J'ai perdu mon cœur d'enfant
I lost my childish heart
Mes yeux tout neufs t'ont rencontré parmi la ville
My brand new eyes met you among the city
Et sans savoir ils t'ont donné leur liberté
And without knowing they gave you their freedom
La rivière s'en va tranquille
The river goes peacefully
Mais moi j'ai voulu rester
But I wanted to stay
Pourtant souvent je pense
Yet often I think
Au ciel de mon enfance
In the sky of my childhood
Ce soir tu vois je veux retrouver la vie douce
Tonight you see I want to find the sweet life again
Vivre avec toi dans la clarté de mes vingt ans
Living with you in the clarity of my twenty years
Et remonter vers la source
And go back to the source
D'où jaillissent les printemps
From where springs spring
Dans le silence des sapins blancs
In the silence of the white fir trees
Tu connaîtras près du torrent
You will know near the torrent
Mon cœur d'enfant
My child's heart
