Lyrics of Tu m'attendais - Georges Moustaki

Tu m'attendais (original)

Tu m’attendais au bord d’une forêt
Devant la mer, près d’une cheminée
Tu m’attendais, la table était dressée
On entendait la mer, les arbres frémissaient
Tu me cherchais de pays en pays
De vallée en clairière, de saison en saison
Tu m’attendais aux premiers jours de mai
À la fin de l’hiver, chaque jour de l’année
Tu me cherchais de cité en cité
De montagne en désert, de maison en maison
Tu m’attendais au bord d’une forêt
Devant la mer, près d’une cheminée

(translation)

You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest
In front of the sea, near a fireplace
You were expecting me, the table was set
You could hear the sea, the trees were quivering
You were looking for me from country to country
From valley to glade, from season to season
You expected me in the first days of May
At the end of winter, every day of the year
You were looking for me from city to city
From mountain to desert, from house to house
You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest
In front of the sea, near a fireplace
