Chanson Pour Toi Lyrics in English Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chanson Pour Toi by Salvatore Adamo from French to English.
Ah, si cette chanson
Ah, if this song
Écrite sans façon
Written without ways
Pouvait te plaire
Could please you
Et si ces quelques mots
And if these few words
Portaient vers toi l'écho
Brought the echo to you
De ma prière
Of my prayer
Pour mériter ton coeur
To deserve your heart
J'irais de fleur en fleur
I would go from flower to flower
Comme un trouvère
Like a finder
Et de cour en balcon
And from courtyard
Je chanterais ton nom
I would sing your name
Comme naguère
As formerly
Comme naguère
As formerly
Oui, mais que faire?
Yes, but what to do?
Un jour, au bout du temps
One day, after time
Tu t'appelais Iseut
Your name was Iseut
Je m'appelais Tristan
My name was Tristan
Nous étions malheureux
We were unhappy
La mort avait bercé
Death had rocked
Notre impossible amour
Our impossible love
Mais aujourd'hui, tu sais
But today you know
On ne meurt plus d'amour
We no longer die
Alors, dis-moi comment
So tell me how
Dis-moi par quel serment
Tell me by which oath
Ou par quel gage
Or by which guarantee
Reviendras-tu vers moi
Will you come back to me
Laissant pleurer de joie
Leaving joy
Ton doux visage
Your sweet face
Mais je t'appelle en vain
But I call you in vain
Et je te tends la main
And I put my hand
Dans mon délire
In my delirium
Je n'ai qu'une chanson
I have only one song
Écrite sans façon
Written without ways
Pour te le dire
To tell you
Bien sûr les sanglots longs
Of course long sobs
Des fameux violons
Famous violins
Feraient moins chiche
Would be less chick
Mais je n'ai pas le don
But I don't have the gift
De demander pardon
Ask for forgiveness
En rimes riches
Rhymes
Et si cette chanson
What if this song
Écrite sans façon
Written without ways
Pour toi, ma mie
For you, my crumb
Pouvait te plaire un jour
Could please you one day
J'en ferais pour toujours
I would do it forever
Ma litanie
My litany
