These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Devant sa page blanche un musicien commence
In front of his blank page a musician begins
Une valse triste, c'est pas toujours gai, les artistes
A sad waltz is not always cheerful, artists
Il chante pour lui-même les notes qui lui viennent
He sings for himself the notes that come to him
Comme un vent d'automne, c'est pas toujours gai, la pologne
Like an autumn wind, it's not always cheerful, Poland
Sa chanson, son chagrin l'a volée au piano
Her song, her grief stole her from the piano
Et elle tourne sur ta stéréo
And it turns on your stereo
Dans la nuit quand tu as le coeur gros
In the night when your heart is big
Sa chanson, c'est l'adieu qu'il n'a pas su lui dire
His song is the farewell he couldn't tell her
Une musique pour se souvenir, se souvenir
Music to remember, to remember
Le soleil se rallume, il a usé sa plume
The sun is coming back on, he has worn out his pen
Sur sa valse triste, ça dort pas souvent, les artistes
On his sad waltz, it sleeps not often, artists
Qu'importe qui tu aimes, les adieux sont les mêmes
Whoever you love, the farewells are the same
Et le vent d'automne va bien plus loin que la pologne
And the autumn wind goes much further than the Polish
Sa chanson, il l'a faite sans savoir comment
His song, he made it without knowing how
C'est peut-être son coeur qu'on entend
Maybe it's his heart that we hear
Quand un autre la chante en passant
When someone else sings it in passing
Sa chanson, c'est l'adieu qu'il n'a pas su lui dire
His song is the farewell he couldn't tell her
Une musique pour se souvenir, se souvenir
Music to remember, to remember
Devant sa page blanche un musicien commence
In front of his blank page a musician begins
Une valse triste, c'est pas toujours gai, les artistes
A sad waltz is not always cheerful, artists
Il chante pour lui-même les notes qui lui viennent
He sings for himself the notes that come to him
Comme un vent d'automne, c'est pas toujours gai, la pologne
Like an autumn wind, it's not always cheerful, Poland
