Si je chante encore cette chanson c´est pour toi
If I'm still singing this song, it's for you
Pour que tu reviennes un jour te blottir dans mes bras
So you'll come back one day to snuggle in my arms
Il me reste de toi le souvenir des jours heureux
What I have left of you is the memory of happy days
Quand j´étais amoureux quand tu prenais ma main
When I was in love, when you took my hand
Pour découvrir ensemble des mondes incertains
To discover uncertain worlds together
L´ivresse des matins un peu de mon chagrin
The intoxication of mornings, a little of my sorrow
Et puis des mots d´amour ne rimant plus à rien
And then words of love that no longer meant anything
Mais j´aurais su garder l´espoir
But I would've known how to keep hope
L´espoir secret de te revoir
The secret hope of seeing you again
La la la
La la la
Si je chante encore cette chanson c´est pour toi
If I'm still singing this song, it's for you
Pour que tu reviennes au pays où l´amour est roi
So you'll come back to the land where love is king
Si je chante encore cette chanson c´est pour toi
If I'm still singing this song, it's for you
Pour que tu reviennes un jour te blottir dans mes bras
So you'll come back one day to snuggle in my arms
Il me reste de toi, le souvenir de ton regard
What I have left of you is the memory of your gaze
Perdu dans le brouillard l´instant de ton départ
Lost in the fog, the moment you left
Quand tu t´es retourné pour le dernière fois
When you turned around for the last time
Une photo ratée, un foulard oublié
A bad photo, a forgotten scarf
Quelques lettres froissées que je n´ai pas jetées
Some crumpled letters that I haven't thrown away
Mais j´aurais su garder l´espoir
But I would've known how to keep hope
L´espoir secret de te revoir
The secret hope of seeing you again
La la la
La la la..
Si je chante encore cette chanson c´est pour toi
If I'm still singing this song, it's for you
Pour que tu reviennes au pays où l´amour est roi
So you'll come back to the land where love is king
Si je chante encore cette chanson c´est pour toi
If I'm still singing this song, it's for you
Pour que tu reviennes un jour te blottir dans mes bras
So you'll come back one day to snuggle in my arms
La la la
La la la
