Pendant la nuit
Overnight
L'hiver est revenu
Winter has returned
Dans les rues aujourd'hui
In the streets today
Tous les arbres sont morts
All the trees are dead
En écoutant la pluie
Listening to the rain
Tu penses à ce pays
You think of this country
Dont le nom était San Salvador
Whose name was San Salvador
Tu te souviens
Do you remember
Quand tu fermes les yeux
When you close your eyes
D'un étrange jardin
From a strange garden
D'où montait le matin
From where the morning rose
Des milliers de parfums
Thousands of perfumes
Et des papillons bleus
And blue butterflies
C'était peut-être San Salvador
Maybe it was San Salvador
San Salvador
San Salvador
Tu répètes ce mot
You repeat this word
Comme si tu voulais
As if you wanted
Retrouver le reflet
Find the reflection
Des crépuscules mauves
Purple twilights
Et des galions du port
And galleons from the port
Qui revenaient de l'ile au trésor
Who were returning from treasure island
Tu ne sais plus
You don't know anymore
Comment y retourner
How to get back
Qui sait si ce pays
Who knows if this country
A jamais existé
Forever existed
Si c'était dans tes rêves
If it was in your dreams
Ou dans une autre vie
Or in another life
Que tu as connu San Salvador
That you knew San Salvador
San Salvador
San Salvador
Le vent souffle aux carreaux
The wind blows through the windows
Dans le bruit de la pluie
In the sound of the rain
Tu entends un écho
You hear an echo
Une chanson perdue
A lost song
Qui te vient d'un pays
Who comes to you from a country
Que tu ne reverras jamais plus
That you'll never see again
