Lyrics

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne,
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et bleme, quand
Sonne l’heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens et je pleure;
Et je m’en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m’emporte
Deca, dela
Pareil a la feuille morte

Lyrics translation

Long sobs
Violin
Autumn,
Hurt my heart
Monotonous languor.
All suffocating
And bleme, when
Sound the time,
I remember
Old days and I cry;
And I'm leaving
To the bad wind
Who takes me away
Deca, dela
Same as the dead leaf
