L'ombre d'un amour Lyrics in English Joe Dassin
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'ombre d'un amour by Joe Dassin from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Le jour l'éveille, elle se lève, s'habille et ne dit rien
On the day awakens her, she gets up, gets dressed and says nothing
Sur son visage glisse une larme et ses yeux se sont éteints
On his face slips a tear and his eyes are extinguished
Et déjà, c'est en vain que tu cherches l'ombre d'un amour
And already, it is in vain that you seek the shadow of a love
Sous ses larmes, l'ombre d'un amour, l'ombre d'un chagrin
Under her tears, the shadow of a love, the shadow of sorrow
Elle se maquille mais dans la glace, pas un regard pour toi
She's wearing makeup, but in the mirror, not a look for you
Une cigarette... le café passe. elle dit que c'est fini
A cigarette... Coffee's passing. she says it's over
Qu'elle s'en va. et déjà, c'est en vain que tu cherches
Let her go. and already, it is in vain that you seek
L'ombre d'un amour, sous les larmes, l'ombre d'un amour
The shadow of love, under tears, the shadow of love
Elle range ses cheveux et sa main tremble un peu
She puts away her hair and her hand trembles a little
Puis elle va regarder si elle est jolie; si tout va bien
Then she'll look if she's pretty; if all goes well
Si son rimmel n'a pas coulé, si elle n'oublie rien
If her rimmel has not sunk, if she does not forget anything
Midi, la gare, tu ne veux pas croire qu'elle ne reviendra pas
Noon, the station, you don't want to believe that it won't come back
