Lyrics of Sonia - Patrick Juvet

Sonia (original)

Elle tait venue comme une toile
Pareille celle des nuits de neige
Le vent froid de sa steppe natale
La suivait comme une mre, une mre
C’tait mon rve, c’tait Sonia
C’tait l’amour qui venait du froid
Etait-ce un songe que j’ai invent pour un t?
C’tait mon rve, c’tait Sonia
C’tait l’amour qui venait du froid
Son cњur dcembre a brl mes doigts
Mon coeur, j’en tremble
Elle n’avait pu se faire l’ide
Que mon pays fait parfois l’t
Au doux soleil des mille ciels bleus
Je devais lui allumer un grand feu
C’tait mon rve, c’tait Sonia
C’tait l’amour qui venait du froid
Etait-ce un songe que j’ai invent pour un t?
C’tait mon rve, c’tait Sonia
C’tait l’amour qui venait du froid
Son cњur dcembre a brl mes doigts
Mon coeur, j’en tremble
C’tait mon rve, c’tait Sonia
C’tait l’amour qui venait du froid
Un jour peut-tre elle me reviendra comme une fte
Un jour peut-tre dans une gare
Ou sur ma route, fleur de hasard
Elle reviendra me parler du froid, elle reviendra!

(translation)

She had come like a star
Like snowy nights
The cold wind of his native steppe
followed her like a mother, a mother
It was my dream, it was Sonia
It was the love that came from the cold
Was it a dream I made up for a t?
It was my dream, it was Sonia
It was the love that came from the cold
His December heart burned my fingers
My heart, I tremble
She couldn't have imagined
That my country sometimes does the t
In the soft sun of a thousand blue skies
I had to light him a big fire
It was my dream, it was Sonia
It was the love that came from the cold
Was it a dream I made up for a t?
It was my dream, it was Sonia
It was the love that came from the cold
His December heart burned my fingers
My heart, I tremble
It was my dream, it was Sonia
It was the love that came from the cold
One day maybe she'll come back to me like a party
One day maybe at a train station
Or on my way, flower of chance
She will come back to tell me about the cold, she will come back!
