J'attendais(original) |
| J’coutais longtemps couler l’eau des fontaines |
| Et j’coutais le vent chanter infiniment |
| Vagues de quitude et de paix |
| D’aussi loin que je me souvienne |
| L’enfance est un immense ocan |
| Et je rvais longues annes, longue indolence |
| O rien ne se passe mais o rien ne s’oublie |
| J’allais sereine et sans connatre |
| Le moindre feu d’une absence |
| Ce n’est qu’en te croisant |
| Que j’ai su, j’ai compris |
| J’attendais, j’attendais |
| J’attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin |
| Le pourquoi de ces Au revoir |
| tout ce long chemin |
| J’attendais, j’attendais |
| Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains |
| Ma douce boussole mon nord, |
| Le sens mes demains |
| Et j’abordais les troubles rives adolescentes |
| Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants |
| Je me souviens les coups de sang |
| Des musiques et des mots de France |
| Amants d’avant, |
| Il y a bien des vies qu’on nourrit d’tudes ou de sciences |
| Destins faits d’aventures, de records ou d’argent |
| Des vies d’criture et de voyage |
| Ou de rve de puissance |
| J’y pensais bien de temps en temps, |
| En coutant le vent |
| J’attendais, j’attendais |
| J’attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin |
| Le pourquoi de ces Au revoir |
| tout ce long chemin |
| J’attendais, j’attendais, j’attendais ton amour |
| Ton beau ton bel amour |
| Je l’attendais pour enfin vivre |
| En donnant mon tour |
| J’attendais… |
| (translation) |
| I listened for a long time to the water running from the fountains |
| And I listened to the wind sing endlessly |
| Waves of Quietness and Peace |
| As far back as I can remember |
| Childhood is a huge ocean |
| And I dreamed long years, long indolence |
| Where nothing happens but where nothing is forgotten |
| I went serene and without knowing |
| The lesser fire of an absence |
| Only by crossing you |
| That I knew, I understood |
| I was waiting, I was waiting |
| I was waiting for your look to finally explain |
| The why of these goodbyes |
| all this long way |
| I was waiting, I was waiting |
| The country of your body the touch of your hands |
| My sweet compass my north, |
| Meaning my tomorrows |
| And I approached the troubled adolescent shores |
| The doubts, the games, the bad currents |
| I remember the blood strokes |
| Music and words from France |
| former lovers, |
| There are many lives that are nourished by studies or sciences |
| Destinies made of adventures, records or money |
| Lives of writing and travel |
| Or dream of power |
| I thought about it once in a while, |
| Listening to the wind |
| I was waiting, I was waiting |
| I was waiting for your look to finally explain |
| The why of these goodbyes |
| all this long way |
| I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting for your love |
| Your beautiful your beautiful love |
| I was waiting for it to finally live |
| Giving my turn |
| I was waiting… |
