C'était un soir, un matin peut-être, sylvie
It was one evening, maybe one morning, sylvie
T'en souviens-tu, sylvie? je ne sais plus, sylvie
Do you remember that, sylvie? I don't know anymore, sylvie
C'était l'été, l'automne peut-être, sylvie
It was summer, autumn perhaps, sylvie
Je n'en sais rien, sylvie, c'est déjà loin, sylvie
I don't know, sylvie, it's already far away, sylvie
On perd jusqu'à la mémoire
We lose to the memory
D'un air que l'on a chanté
With a tune we sang
Et ton image nous sépare
And your image separates us
Des paysages familiers
Familiar landscapes
D'une rivière, d'un banc de square
From a river, from a square bench
Et d'une chambre où tu venais
And from a room where you came
Qui se souvient de nous, sylvie?
Who remembers us, sylvie?
Qui peut penser à nous?
Who can think of us?
Qui sait encore qu'il y a longtemps
Who knows that a long time ago
On s'aimait fort, on s'aimait tant?
We loved each other very much, we loved each other so much?
Mais tout s'efface, tout se remplace, sylvie
But everything fades, everything is replaced, sylvie
Rêves d'enfants, sylvie, rêves de grands aussi
Children's dreams, sylvie, big dreams too
Et le bonheur lui-même passe, sylvie
And happiness itself passes, sylvie
Comme le temps, sylvie, comme le vent, sylvie
Like the weather, sylvie, like the wind, sylvie
On perd jusqu'à la mémoire
We lose to the memory
D'un air que l'on a chanté
With a tune we sang
Et cet instant et ce visage
And that moment and that face
Que l'on voudrait se rappeler
That one would like to remember
Ne sont que des châteaux de sable
Are only sandcastles
Bientôt la mer va remonter
Soon the sea will rise
Qui se souvient de nous, sylvie?
Who remembers us, sylvie?
Qui peut penser à nous?
Who can think of us?
Qui sait encore qu'il y a longtemps
Who knows that a long time ago
On s'aimait fort, on s'aimait tant?
We loved each other very much, we loved each other so much?
Mais on s'est sans doute fait des promesses, sylvie
But we've probably made promises to themselves, sylvie
T'en souviens-tu, sylvie? je ne sais plus, sylvie
Do you remember that, sylvie? I don't know anymore, sylvie
Amour d'un jour, amour de jeunesse, sylvie
Love of a day, love of youth, sylvie
Se sont perdus, sylvie, et tu n'es plus que l'oubli
Get lost, sylvie, and you're nothing but oblivion
