Dans Ton Sommeil Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dans Ton Sommeil by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
Dans ton sommeil, tu souriais, ravie
In your sleep, you smiled, delighted
Et tu voguais au fil d'un long poème
And you sailed along a long poem
Dans ton sommeil, parfois, je t'ai suivie
In your sleep, sometimes, I followed you
Où tu vivais au coeur de la nuit même
Where you lived in the heart of the very night
Et je devins marin lorsque tes cils de moire
And I became a sailor when your moiré eyelashes
S'ouvrirent comme des algues sur une mer opale
Opened like seaweed on an opal sea
Et je fus grand sorcier lorsque d'un mot d'amour
And I was a great sorcerer when with a word of love
J'allumai un soleil au ciel de la tendresse
I lit a sun in the sky of tenderness
Je fus le troubadour amoureux de la lyre
I was the troubadour in love with the lyre
Qu'une nymphe a perdu au bout d'une légende
That a nymph lost at the end of a legend
Oui, je fus musicien lorsque tu m'emmenas
Yes, I was a musician when you took me
Au clair des grands orgues sur des ailes d'oiseau
To the clear sound of the great organs on bird's wings
Car tu étais musique et j'étais magicien
For you were music and I was a magician
Lorsque sur chaque note éclosait un 'je t'aime'
When on each note a "I love you" blossomed
Je fus ton Arlequin lorsque ivre de ton rêve
I was your Harlequin when, drunk with your dream
Je vis danser mon âme sur un rayon de lune
I saw my soul dance on a moonbeam
Et je fus ton enfant lorsque tu me berças
And I was your child when you rocked me
Sur l'onde caressante d'une source d'étoiles
On the caressing wave of a spring of stars
Dans ton sommeil, tes yeux s'entrouvrent et rient
In your sleep, your eyes half-open and laugh
Toujours pareil, se poursuit le poème
Always the same, the poem continues
Car ton réveil vient réchauffer ma vie
For your awakening comes to warm my life
C'est mon soleil quand tu me dis 'je t'aime'
You're my sun when you tell me "I love you"

troubadour — troubadour
The word "troubadour" refers to a poet-musician who composed and performed songs, often about courtly love, in medieval times. It's a romantic and somewhat archaic word that evokes a sense of classic storytelling and artistry.
In the song, the narrator imagines himself as a troubadour, deeply in love and creating music inspired by his beloved. This choice of word adds a poetic and timeless quality to the song's narrative of love and dreams.
