These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Toi qui l'as rencontrée, dis-moi donc ses yeux, son coeur, sa vie, son prénom
You who met her, tell me her eyes, her heart, her life, her first name
Dis-moi ses mains, ses ch'veux, son adresse
Tell me his hands, his hair, his address
Mais sait-on où se cache une déesse
But do we know where a goddess hides
Raconte-moi son rire de cristal et son odeur de bois de santal
Tell me about his crystal laugh and his smell of sandalwood
Et cette médaille d'or de Padoue que j'ai cru voir briller à son cou
And this gold medal from Padua that I thought I saw shining on his neck
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Et je meurs pour l'ombre d'un sourire
And I die for the shadow of a smile
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Je suis prisonnier d'un souvenir
I'm trapped in a memory
A-t-elle vraiment ces yeux porcelaine qui cachent tant de choses humaines
Does she really have those porcelain eyes that hide so many human things?
Et ce brouillard de mélancolie qui vous relègue au fond de la nuit
And this fog of melancholy that relegates you to the depths of the night
Dis-moi ce que tu sais de ce monde, moi qui ne l'ai vue qu'une seconde
Tell me what you know about this world, I who only saw it for a second
Raconte-moi sa vie, sa maison, les mots qu'elle aime dans les chansons
Tell me about her life, her house, the words she likes in songs
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Et je meurs pour l'ombre d'un sourire
And I die for the shadow of a smile
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Je suis prisonnier d'un souvenir
I'm trapped in a memory
Toi qui l'as rencontrée, dis-moi tout, raconte-moi ses livres et ses goûts
You who met her, tell me everything, tell me about her books and her tastes
A-t-elle cette voix de violoncelle que j'imagine en pensant à elle
Does she have that cello voice that I imagine when thinking of her
Dis-moi dans quel pays de silence a-t-elle acquis cet air d'innocence
Tell me in which land of silence did she acquire this air of innocence
Et dis-moi ce que je peux tenter pour essayer de la mériter
And tell me what I can do to try to deserve it
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Et je meurs pour l'ombre d'un sourire
And I die for the shadow of a smile
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Je suis prisonnier d'un souvenir
I'm trapped in a memory
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Et je meurs pour l'ombre d'un sourire
And I die for the shadow of a smile
Moi, depuis que je l'ai entrevue, je ne vis plus, ne dors plus
Me, since I saw her, I no longer live, no longer sleep
Je suis prisonnier d'un souvenir
I'm trapped in a memory
