Translation of the song lyrics Ce soleil là... - Michel Fugain

Ce soleil là... (original)

Y avait le vent des jours o y a du vent
L’ocan qui dansait devant
Y avait la cime des squoias
Juste au-dessus de a Y avait ce grain de lumire
Qu’on ne voit qu’au bord du dsert
Mais si j’avais su peindre, je crois
Je n’aurais regard que toi
Ce soleil-l
Y avait ce soleil-l
Qui donnait ce moment-l
Je ne sais, je ne sais quoi
Ce soleil-l
J’aimais ce soleil-l
Qui donnait ce moment-l
Ce je ne sais quoi
Qui arrtait le temps
Et tout n’tait que toi
Y avait le vert des rives et des rivires
Dans la brme du matin clair
Y avait les chutes du Niagara
Juste au-dessous de a Y avait ce rien de moiteur
Qu’on ne trouve qu' l’quateur
Mais si j’avais su peindre, je crois,
Je n’aurais regard que toi
Ce soleil-l
Y avait ce soleil-l
Qui donnait ce moment-l
Je ne sais, je ne sais quoi
Ce soleil-l
J’aimais ce soleil-l
Qui donnait ce moment-l
Ce je ne sais quoi
Qui arrtait le temps
Et tout n’tait que
Ce soleil-l
Jour aprs jour
Ce soleil-l
J’aurais toujours
Ce soleil-l
Tant que tu seras l Tu seras l

(translation)

There was wind on windy days
The ocean dancing ahead
There was the top of the squoias
Just above there was this speck of light
Only seen at the edge of the desert
But if I had known how to paint, I believe
I would only look at you
That sun
There was that sun
Who gave this moment
I don't know, I don't know what
That sun
I loved that sun
Who gave this moment
That je ne sais quoi
Who stopped time
And it was all about you
There was green shores and rivers
In the clear morning breeze
There was Niagara Falls
Just below there was that wet thing
That we only find the equator
But if I had known how to paint, I believe,
I would only look at you
That sun
There was that sun
Who gave this moment
I don't know, I don't know what
That sun
I loved that sun
Who gave this moment
That je ne sais quoi
Who stopped time
And everything was just
That sun
day by day
That sun
I would always have
That sun
As long as you're there, you'll be there
