Lyrics of Ma mie - Charles Aznavour

Ma mie (original)

Tu es la vague, tu es la mer, tu es l’orage et les éclairs
Tu es le monde et le univers, ma mie.
Tu es la terre et la moisson, tu es les lacs, tu es les monts
Tu es le ciel et l’horizon, ma mie.
Tu es, tu es au fond de moi, tout ce qui pleure et ce qui rit
Tout ce qui meurt et ce qui vit, tout ce qui reste et qui s’en va.
Tu es la pierre et le sable fin, tu es la fleur et le parfum
Tu es le début et la fin, ma mie.
Tu es la palme, tu es le vent, tu es l’infini et le temps
Tu es l’hiver et le printemps, ma mie.
Tu es la branche, tu es le fruit, tu es le jour, tu es la nuit
Tu es le soleil et la pluie, ma mie.
Mais lorsque tu pars, mon amour, tout devient mort, je deviens seul
Se tend de noir et prend le deuil et en attendant ton retour
Je suis la cendre, le feu et le bois, je suis le chaud, je suis le froid
Je suis le Christ, je suis la croix, ma mie, ma mie.

(translation)

You are the wave, you are the sea, you are the storm and the lightning
You are the world and the universe, my dear.
You are the earth and the harvest, you are the lakes, you are the mountains
You are the sky and the horizon, my dear.
You are, you are inside of me, all that cries and all that laughs
All that dies and all that lives, all that remains and all that goes.
You are the stone and the fine sand, you are the flower and the perfume
You are the beginning and the end, my dear.
You are the palm, you are the wind, you are infinity and time
You are winter and spring, my dear.
You are the branch, you are the fruit, you are the day, you are the night
You are the sun and the rain, my dear.
But when you leave, my love, everything becomes dead, I become alone
Stretches out in black and mourns and awaits your return
I am ash, fire and wood, I am hot, I am cold
I am Christ, I am the cross, my dear, my dear.
