Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carolina (Sad Sweet Dreamer) by Joe Dassin from French to English.
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, I could never have imagined that you would come
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait
Carolina, I could never have imagined that we would love each other
Elle est si jolie, si fragile
She is so pretty, so fragile
Qu'on a presque peur, presque peur d'y toucher
That we almost fear, almost fear to touch her
Elle est le bonheur impossible à rêver
She is the happiness impossible to dream of
Elle ressemble un peu à ma chance
She resembles a bit my luck
J'ai presque peur, presque peur d'y penser
I almost fear, almost fear to think about it
Et plus je la vois plus je pense à rêver
And the more I see her, the more I think of dreaming
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, I could never have imagined that you would come
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait
Carolina, I could never have imagined that we would love each other
Elle a le regard de l'enfance mais elle a aussi les pouvoirs de la fée
She has the gaze of childhood but she also has the powers of the fairy
C'est la beauté qui commence à rêver
It's the beauty that begins to dream
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, I could never have imagined that you would come
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait
Carolina, I could never have imagined that we would love each other
Je me suis fait prendre au piège, mais j'aime ma prison
I got caught in the trap, but I love my prison
Et c'est si bon de perdre la raison
And it's so good to lose reason
Un matin, le printemps se donne
One morning, spring gives itself
Je sais bien, je sais bien qu'il va s'en aller
I know well, I know well that it will go away
Mais j'ai tellement mieux que l'automne à rêver
But I have so much better than autumn to dream of
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, I could never have imagined that you would come
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait
Carolina, I could never have imagined that we would love each other
