Je Voulais (Te Dire Que Je T'Attends)

(original)
Je mettrai mon coeur dans du papier d’argent
Mon numéro d’appel aux abonnés absents
Mes chansons d’amour resteront là dans mon piano
J’aurai jeté la clef du piano dans l’eau
J’irai voir les rois de la brocante
«Vendez mon coeur trois francs cinquante.»
Tu savais si bien l'écouter
Que ma vie s’est arrêtée
Quand tu m’a quitté
Je voulais te dire que je t’attends
Et tant pis si je perds mon temps
Je t’attends, je t’attends tout le temps
Sans me décourager pourtant
Comme quelqu’un qui n’a plus personne
S’endort près de son téléphone
Et sourit quand on le réveille
Mais ce n'était que le soleil
L’autre jour, j’ai vu quelqu’un qui te ressemble
Et la rue était comme une photo qui tremble
Si c’est toi qui passe le jour où je me promène
Si c’est vraiment toi, je vois déjà la scène
Moi je te regarde
Et tu me regardes
Je voulais te dire que je t’attends
Et tant pis si je perds mon temps
Je t’attends, je t’attends tout le temps
Ce soir, demain, n’importe quand
Comme quelqu’un qui n’a plus personne
S’endort près de son téléphone
Et qui te cherche à son réveille
Tout seul au soleil, j’attends
Je voulais te dire que je t’attends
Si tu savais comme je t’attends !
Je t’attends, je t’attends tout l’temps
Quand seras-tu là?
Je t’attends
Je voulais te dire que je t’attends
Si tu savais comme je t’attends !
Je t’attends, je t’attends tout l’temps
Je voulais te dire que je t’attends
(translation)
I'll put my heart in silver paper
My number for absent subscribers
My love songs will stay there in my piano
I would have thrown the piano key in the water
I'll go see the kings of the flea market
"Sell my heart for three francs fifty."
You knew how to listen to it so well
That my life has stopped
When you left me
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
And too bad if I waste my time
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
Without getting discouraged though
Like someone who has no one left
Falls asleep next to his phone
And smiles when woken up
But it was only the sun
The other day I saw someone who looks like you
And the street was like a shaking picture
If you're the one passing by on the day I walk
If it's really you, I already see the scene
Me watching you
And you look at me
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
And too bad if I waste my time
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
Tonight, tomorrow, anytime
Like someone who has no one left
Falls asleep next to his phone
And who's looking for you when he wakes up
All alone in the sun, I wait
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
If you knew how I wait for you!
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
When will you be there?
I am waiting for you
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
If you knew how I wait for you!
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
