Dieu qu'elle était belle, si blanche, si claire
God, she was beautiful, so white, so radiant
Ce dimanche de janvier
That January Sunday
Dieu qu'elle était celle que j'attendais
God, she was the one I had been waiting for
Telle que je l'avais tant rêvée
Just as I had so often dreamed her
Je ne me souviens guère des gens
I hardly remember the people
Ni de l'hiver, je n'ai vu qu'elle et ça n'a plus changé
Nor the winter, I saw only her and that never changed
Dieu qu'elle était belle, en une étincelle
God, she was beautiful, in a single spark
Ma vie s'est illuminée
My life lit up
Dieu que j'ai dû ruser, pour enfin l'approcher
God, I had to be cunning to finally get close to her
Pour un peu l'apprivoiser
To tame her a little
La regarder vivre, bouger, sourire
To watch her live, move, smile
Jamais je ne m'en lassais
I never got tired of it
Dieu qu'elle était mienne dans mes nuits
God, she was mine in my nights
Mes rêves, j'en rougissait quand je la revoyais
In my dreams, I would blush when I saw her again
Mais ses bises légères, ami, presque frère
But her light kisses, friend, almost brother
Dieu que je les détestais
God, how I hated them
Dieu que ce fut clair dans ses yeux, ses airs
God, it was clear in her eyes, her manner
Quand j'ai vu l'autre approcher
When I saw the other approach
En propriétaire, ses mots, ses manières
As if possessing her, with his words, his ways
Moi je n'étais pas assez
I was not enough
Dieu qu'elle est cruelle, la vie si cruelle
God, life is cruel, so cruel
Quand je l'ai vu la gagner
When I saw him win her
Dieu qu'elle était belle, si blanche, si claire
God, she was beautiful, so white, so radiant
Dans sa robe de mariée
In her wedding dress
