Lyrics of La route de San Francisco - Hélène

La route de San Francisco (original)

C’etait en plein ete
La route rougeoyant
Et toute seule je marchais
Sans savoir ou aller
Il est venu vers moi
Et sans savoir pourquoi
J’ai su que c’etait lui que j’attendais
Refrain
Californie
Sous le soleil du mois d’aout
On a marche sur la route
De San Francisco
Comme deux amis
C’etait le destin sans doute
Qui nous a mis sur la route
De San Francisco
On a marche ensemble
Un moment sans rien dire
Et c’est lui il me semble
Qui m’a fait un sourire
Je n’ai pas resiste
Quand il m’a pris la main
Le soleil se couchait
Sur le chemin
Refrain
La nuit s’est refermee
Sur nos corps enlaces
Je sais que je ne l’oublierai jamais
Refrain 2 fois
Californie
Sous le soleil du mois d’aout
On a marche sur la route
De San Francisco

(translation)

It was in the middle of summer
The glowing road
And all alone I walked
Without knowing where to go
He came to me
And without knowing why
I knew it was him I was waiting for
Chorus
California
Under the August sun
We walked down the road
From San Francisco
like two friends
It was fate no doubt
Who put us on the road
From San Francisco
We walked together
A moment without saying anything
And that's him it seems
who gave me a smile
I did not resist
When he took my hand
The sun was setting
On the road
Chorus
The night has closed
On our intertwined bodies
I know I'll never forget it
Chorus 2 times
California
Under the August sun
We walked down the road
From San Francisco
