Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Enfants Qui S'Aiment by Yves Montand from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Les enfants qui s'aiment s'embrassent debout contre les portes de la nuit
Children who love each other kiss standing against the gates of the night
Et les passants qui passent les désignent du doigt
And the passers-by point at them
Mais les enfant qui s'aiment ne sont là pour personne
But children who love each other are not there for anyone
Et c'est seulement leur ombre qui tremble dans la nuit
And it's only their shadow that trembles in the night
Excitant la rage des passants
Exciting the rage of passers-by
Leur rage, leur mépris, leur rire et leur envie
Their rage, their contempt, their laughter and their envy
Les enfants qui s'aiment ne sont là pour personne
Children who love themselves are not there for anyone
Ils sont ailleurs bien plus loin que la nuit
They are elsewhere much further than the night
Bien plus haut que le jour
Much higher than the day
Dans l'éblouissante clarté de leur premier amour
In the dazzling clarity of their first love
Ils sont ailleurs bien plus loin que la nuit
They are elsewhere much further than the night
Bien plus haut que le jour
Much higher than the day
Dans l'éblouissante clarté de leur premier amour
In the dazzling clarity of their first love
