Translation of the song lyrics Le garçon que j'aimais - Nicole Croisille

Le garçon que j'aimais (original)

Le garçon que j’aimais
Ne reviendra plus jamais
Et ses lèvres jamais plus
N’auront les mots que j’ai connu
Le garçon que j’aimais
On aurait cru quand il parlait
Que du fond de sa jeunesse
Des siècles de tendresse
Vous arrivaient dessus
Le garçon que j’aimais
Avait l’air quand il marchait
En regardant devant lui
D’ouvrir les portes de la vie
Mais voilà je ne le verrai plus
Voilà je n’entendrai plus chanter son coeur
Car un jour on m’a volé
Le garçon que j’aimais
On l’a pris au mois de mai
Et sans qu’il n’aie rien compri
On lui a donné un fusil
Pas besoin de vous raconter
Je sais que vous comprendrez pourquoi je dis
Que je ne le reverrai jamais

(translation)

The Boy I Loved
Will never come back
And her lips never again
Won't have the words I've known
The Boy I Loved
You would have thought when he spoke
That from the depths of his youth
Centuries of tenderness
were coming at you
The Boy I Loved
Looked when he walked
Looking ahead
To open the doors of life
But now I won't see him again
There I will no longer hear his heart sing
Because one day I was robbed
The Boy I Loved
We took it in May
And without him understanding anything
He was given a gun
No need to tell you
I know you will understand why I say
That I'll never see him again
