Lyrics of Je cherche l'ombre - Céline Dion

Je cherche l'ombre (original)

Je cherche l’ombre, pour danser avec toi mon amour
Sur ces musiques anciennes qui reviennent en memoire
Quand le soleil s’eteint et que revient le soir
[I'm looking for the shadows, to dance with you my love
On those old musics that come back into memory
When the sun turns off and the night comes back]
Je cherche l’ombre, pour nous mettre a l’abri mon amour
Pour decouvir ton corps, loin de toute lumiere
Et pour t’aimer encore comme une etrangere
[I'm looking for the shadows, to protect us my love
To discover your bodym far from all light
And to love you again like a stranger]
Je cherche l’ombre, pour eteindre le feu mon amour
Qui devore mon ame et brule dans mes veines
De ce desir infame qui en moi se dechaine
[I'm looking for the shadows, to extinguish the fire my love
That devours my soul and burns into my veins
Of this infamous desire unleached in me]
Je cherche l’ombre, pour pleurer avec toi mon amour
Sur cette vie trop courte qui file entre nos doigts
Et qui mange les jours en m’eloignant de toi
[I'm looking for the shadows, to cry with you my love
Over that life too short that runs through our fingers
And which eats up days pulling me away from you]
Je cherche l’ombre
Je cherche l’ombre, comme on cherche un ami mon amour
Qui nous prendra la main, sans larmes, sans chagrin
Pour nous conduire ailleurs, cacher notre bonheur
[I'm looking for the shadows, like we’re looking for a friend my love
Who will take our hand, without tears, without sorrow
To lead us somewhere, to hide our happiness]
Cacher notre bonheur
Et je cherche l’ombre
Et je cherche l’ombre
Je cherche l’ombre…
[I'm looking for the shadows
And I’m looking for the shadows
I’m looking for the shadows…]

(translation)

I seek the shade, to dance with you my love
On those old songs that come back to memory
When the sun goes out and the evening returns
[I'm looking for the shadows, to dance with you my love
On those old musics that come back into memory
When the sun turns off and the night comes back]
I'm looking for the shade, to shelter us my love
To discover your body, far from all light
And to love you again like a stranger
[I'm looking for the shadows, to protect us my love
To discover your body far from all light
And to love you again like a stranger]
I'm looking for the shade, to put out the fire my love
That devours my soul and burns in my veins
Of this infamous desire that in me is unleashed
[I'm looking for the shadows, to extinguish the fire my love
That devours my soul and burns into my veins
Of this infamous desire unleached in me]
I seek the shade, to cry with you my love
On this too short life that slips through our fingers
And who eats the days away from you
[I'm looking for the shadows, to cry with you my love
Over that life too short that runs through our fingers
And which eats up days pulling me away from you]
I seek the shade
I seek the shade, as one seeks a friend my love
Who will take our hand, without tears, without sorrow
To lead us elsewhere, to hide our happiness
[I'm looking for the shadows, like we're looking for a friend my love
Who will take our hand, without tears, without sorrow
To lead us somewhere, to hide our happiness]
hide our happiness
And I seek the shade
And I seek the shade
I seek shade...
[I'm looking for the shadows
And I'm looking for the shadows
I'm looking for the shadows…]
