Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'anamour by Jane Birkin from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Aucun Boeing sur mon transit
No Boeing on my transit
Aucun bateau sous mon transat
No boat under my deckchair
Je cherche en vain la porte exacte
I search in vain for the exact door
Je cherche en vain le mot exit
I search in vain for the word exit
Je chante pour les transistors
I sing for the transistors
Ce récit de l'étrange histoire
This tale of the strange story
De tes anamours transitoires
Of your transitory anamours
De Belle au Bois Dormant qui dort
From Sleeping Beauty sleeping
Je t'aime et je crains
I love you and I fear
Et je sème des grains
And I sow grains
De pavot sur les pavés
Poppy on the cobblestones
Tu sais ces photos de l'Asie
You know these photos of Asia
Que j'ai prises à deux cents Asa
Which I took for two hundred Asa
Maintenant que tu n'es pas là
Now that you're not here
Leurs couleurs vives ont pâli
Their bright colors have faded
J'ai cru entendre les hélices
I thought I heard the propellers
D'un quadrimoteur mais hélas
Of a four-engine but unfortunately
C'est un ventilateur qui passe
It's a fan passing
Au ciel du poste de police
In the sky of the police station
Je t'aime et je crains
I love you and I fear
Et je sème des grains
And I sow grains
De pavot sur les pavés
Poppy on the cobblestones
Je t'aime et je crains
I love you and I fear
Et je sème des grains
And I sow grains
De pavot sur les pavés
Poppy on the cobblestones
