Maria Lyrics in English Joe Dassin
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maria by Joe Dassin from French to English.
Tu passes dans mes insomnies comme un soleil de nuit
You pass through my insomnia like a night sun
Tu es le visage inconnu du paradis perdu
You are the unknown face of the lost paradise
Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, without your eyes, without your body, without your voice
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitié de moi
Maria, Maria, I am only half of myself
Je te cherche partout comme un chien, comme un fou
I search for you everywhere like a dog, like a madman
J'ai donné à mon rêve ton nom
I gave your name to my dream
Et c'est lui qui m'réveille et c'est lui que j'appelle
And it's it that wakes me and it's it that I call
A tous les vents de mes illusions
To all the winds of my illusions
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitie de moi
Maria, Maria, I am only half of myself
Je ne retrouve le matin que le gris quotidien
I only find the gray everyday in the morning
Tu disparais dans les fumées de la réalité
You disappear in the smokes of reality
Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, without your eyes, without your body, without your voice
Maria, Maria je ne suis que la moitié de moi
Maria, Maria, I am only half of myself
Je voudrais me lever, je voudrais te toucher
I would like to get up, I would like to touch you
Et je sais que tu n'es pas très loin
And I know that you are not very far
Et qu'au fond de tes nuits tu m'attends toi aussi
And that deep in your nights you are waiting for me too
Mais c'est long la moitié du chemin
But it's long, half of the way
Je voudrais me lever, je voudrais te toucher
I would like to get up, I would like to touch you
Et je sais que tu n'es pas très loin
And I know that you are not very far
Et qu'au fond de tes nuits tu m'attends toi aussi
And that deep in your nights you are waiting for me too
Mais c'est long la moitié du chemin
But it's long, half of the way
Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, without your eyes, without your body, without your voice
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitié de moi
Maria, Maria, I am only half of myself
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
