Lyrics
C'était un soir de printemps
Je promenais mes vingt ans
En riant, en chantant
Quand je vis en passant
Ses yeux trop bleus
Il s’est approché de moi
Et de sa chaude voix
M’a dit tout bas «Je crois
Qu' c’est pas la première fois
Qu’on s' voit tous deux ?»
C'était cousu d' fil blanc
Il avait tort de chercher
Des tas d' mots compliqués
Il n’a eu qu'à m' parler
Pour qu’aussitôt j' me mette à l’aimer
C'était cousu d' fil blanc
Il a bien vu que j' mentais
Lorsque je lui disais
«J' peux rester qu’un instant
Y a quelqu’un qui m’attend»
C'était cousu d' fil blanc
Lorsqu’il a serré ma main
J' lui ai dit «C' n’est pas bien !»
Et pourtant j' lui laissais
Comme il me caressait
Bien
On n' s’est rien dit, pourtant
On s’aimait tout simplement
C'était cousu d' fil blanc
Notre amour fut merveilleux
Il semblait que les dieux
Ne pensaient qu'à nous deux
Tant nous étions heureux
C'était si bon
Et nous voulions que nos nuits
Durent toute la vie
Nos cœurs n’avaient qu’un cri:
Mon amour, mon chéri
Je t’aime trop !
C'était cousu d' fil blanc
Quand il partit un matin
J’ai cru crever d' chagrin
J' maudissais le destin
Qui m’avait mise sur son chemin
C'était cousu d' fil blanc
Comme un matin de printemps
Je promenais mes vingt ans
En riant, en chantant
Quand je vis en passant
Un grand gars épatant
Il a bien vu que j' mentais
«J' peux rester qu’un instant»
Il a serré ma main
Je n’ai vu que ses yeux
Bleus
On n' s’est rien dit, pourtant
On s’est aimé simplement
C'était cousu d' fil bleu
Lyrics translation
It was a spring night
I was walking my twenties
Laughing, singing
When I live by the way
Her eyes too blue
He approached me.
And his warm voice
Told me all low "I believe
That it's not the first time
See you both ?»
It was sewn from white thread
He was wrong to look
Lots of complicated words
All he had to do was talk to me.
So that immediately I begin to love him
It was sewn from white thread
He saw I was lying.
When I told him
"I can only stay a moment
There's someone waiting for me»
It was sewn from white thread
When he shook my hand
I said, " that's not good !»
And yet I let him
As he stroked me
Good
We haven't told each other yet.
We just loved each other.
It was sewn from white thread
Our love was wonderful
It seemed that the gods
Only thought of the two of us
So happy we were
It was so good
And we wanted our nights
Last a lifetime
Our hearts had only one cry:
My love, my darling
I love you too much !
It was sewn from white thread
When he left one morning
I thought I was dying of grief.
I cursed fate
Who put me in his path
It was sewn from white thread
Like a spring morning
I was walking my twenties
Laughing, singing
When I live by the way
Amazing big guy
He saw I was lying.
"I can only stay a moment»
He shook my hand
I only saw his eyes
Blue
We haven't told each other yet.
We just loved each other.
It was sewn with blue thread
