Translation of the song lyrics Tu Es Venu Mon Amour - Brigitte Bardot

Tu Es Venu Mon Amour (original)

Tu es venu mon amour
Tu es venu mon amour
Je t’attendais chaque jour
Et je guettais ton retour
Les fueilles ont rougi déjà.
La neige a couvert les toits.
Et moi j’ai tant attendu
Que je ne t’attendais plus.
Tu es venu ce matin
Il faisait froid dans mes mains,
Hier encore j’avais peur
Je croiais perdre mon cœur.
Tu es venu m’apporter
Cette chaleur oubliée
Que j’aimais
Que j’aimais
Que j’aimais.
Où étais-tu, mon amour?
Que faisais-tu, mon amour?
Le ciel devenait si lourd
Sur mes nuits et sur mes jours.
Ne me dis rien, mon amour
Ne réponds pas, mon amour.
Tu es ici, mon amour
Ah ça me suffit mon amour.
La neige fond sur les toits.
Demain la fleur s’ouvrira.
Je danserai avec toi.
Tu vois je danse déjà.
Demain durera toujous,
Tu es venu, mon amour,
Mon amour,
Mon amour,
Mon amour.

Tu Es Venu Mon Amour (translation)

You came to me, my love,
You crossed the hush, my love,
I marked the hours, counting each one,
My gaze soldered to the dusk you fled,
Already, the leaves have caught fire, blushed with October’s rage.
The roofs lie hidden, shrouded in spectral snow.
And I kept vigil, soul gnawed by waiting,
Until hope, withered, no longer dared your name.
You arrived in the hush of morning,
Frost lingered, biting deep into my hands,
Only yesterday, I was haunted by dread,
Certain my heart would dissolve—lost beyond recall.
You brought me the exile’s forgotten warmth,
Kindled an ember lost beneath the years,
That I cherished—
That I cherished—
That I cherished—
Where did you wander, my love, untethered?
What worlds did you carve, my love, apart from me?
The sky, weighty as iron, pressed upon me,
Thickening both my nights and days.
Say nothing now, my love—let silence answer.
No word—no reply, my love.
You are here, my love—
And that, my love, is all I ask.
Snow sighs and slips from the eaves.
Tomorrow, the blossom will break its seal.
I shall dance with you, unfurling as the dawn.
See, I am already caught in the whirl.
Tomorrow will last forever—
You have come, my love,
My love,
My love,
My love.
