Quand Tu Danses Lyrics in English by Gilbert Bécaud
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quand Tu Danses by Gilbert Bécaud from French to English.
Quand tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
When you dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je sens mon cœur qui bat
I feel my heart beating
Au rythme de tes pas
To the rhythm of your steps
Quand tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
When you dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je sens la vie, la vie qui va
I feel life, life that goes on
Et je pense, pense, pense que jamais
And I think, think, think that never
Jamais tu ne devrais t'arrêter de danser
Never should you stop dancing
Alors danse, danses, danse devant moi
So dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je t'en supplie, n'arrête pas
I beg you, don't stop
J'ai besoin ce soir de tout oublier
Tonight I need to forget everything
J'ai besoin de te regarder danser
I need to watch you dance
La cadence, dence, dence de tes pas
The cadence, dence, dence of your steps
Me grise et je ne sens plus autre chose en moi
Intoxicates me and I feel nothing else within me
Qu'un immense, mense, mense, feu de joie
But an immense, mense, mense, fire of joy
Brûlant mon corps de haut en bas!
Burning my body from top to bottom!
Dans ma tête en feu
In my head on fire
Je sens peu à peu
I feel little by little
La folie qui m'envahit
The madness that invades me
Et me trouble les yeux
And blurs my eyes
Et je ne vois plus
And I no longer see
Que tes jambes nues
But your bare legs
Sarabande de légende
Legendary sarabande
Monde merveilleux
Wonderful world
Tes yeux
Your eyes
Quand tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
When you dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je sens mon cœur qui bat
I feel my heart beating
Au rythme de tes pas
To the rhythm of your steps
Quand tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
When you dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je sens la vie, la vie qui va
I feel life, life that goes on
Et je pense, pense, pense que jamais
And I think, think, think that never
Jamais tu ne devrais t'arrêter de danser
Never should you stop dancing
Alors danse, danses, danse devant moi
So dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je t'en supplie, n'arrête pas
I beg you, don't stop
L'assemblée à dévoré le veau gras
The assembly devoured the fatted calf
Et l'alcool commence à faire do dégât
And alcohol starts to do damage
L'alcool qui coule, coule à flots
Alcohol that flows, flows in torrents
Des corps qui roulent au fond des ruisseaux
Bodies that roll at the bottom of the streams
Et tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
And you dance, dance, dance in front of me
Je sens mon cœur qui bat, qui bat
I feel my heart beating, beating
Et do danses, danses devant moi
And you dance, dance in front of me
Je t'en supplie n'arrête pas
I beg you, don't stop
N'arrête pas!
Don't stop!

Sarabande — Saraband
A Sarabande is a slow, stately dance, often associated with Baroque music. It's a beautiful and somewhat rare word to find in modern song lyrics, making it particularly interesting.
In the context of "Quand Tu Danses," the singer uses "Sarabande de légende" (legendary Saraband) to describe the mesmerizing and almost mythical quality of the person's dancing. It elevates the act of dancing to something grand and timeless, perfectly capturing the enchanting atmosphere of the song.
