The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Ses mains" by Edith Piaf.
Lyrics
Sur le clavier, ses mains couraient
Et des accords, soudain, naissaient
Elles savaient, si caressantes,
Des mélodies si ravissantes
Éblouir et charmer mon coeur
Quand alors il prenait ma main
Mon coeur battant lui disait: «Viens!»
Tout mon bonheur!
Douceur,
Ses mains blanches qui m’enchantaient
Ses mains tendres qui caressaient
Ses mains fermes qui commandaient
Ses mains calmes qui protégeaient…
Douceur!
Pour moi toujours, ses mains parlaient
Contre lui, elles m’attiraient
Expressives, électrisantes,
L’amour les rendait affolantes…
Ensorcellement merveilleux!
Tout mon corps vibrait dans ses mains
Et je ne refusais plus rien
Fermant les yeux…
À moi
Ses mains fortes qui m’effrayaient
Ses mains crispées qui me serraient
Ses mains ivres qui me prenaient
Ses mains folles qui m’emportaient
À moi
Et puis un jour, il le fallait
La vie déjà nous séparait
Ultime étreinte, mains tremblantes
Et qui s’accrochaient, suppliantes
Des yeux brillants, pleins de douceur
Le train qui part: adieu des mains
J’en vais mourir… adieu, plus rien
Adieu mon coeur!
Adieu
Ses mains blanches qui m’enchantaient
Ses mains tendres qui caressaient
Ses mains douces qui me prenaient
Ses mains chères que j’adorais…
Adieu!
Lyrics translation
On the keyboard, his hands ran
And suddenly agreements were born
They knew, so caressing,
Such lovely melodies
Dazzle and charm my heart
When then he took my hand
My beating heart said to him: "come!»
All my happiness!
Softness,
Her white hands that enchanted me
Her tender hands stroking
His firm hands that commanded
His calm hands that protected…
Sweet!
For me always, his hands were talking
Against him, they lured me
Expressive, electrifying,
Love made them mad…
Bewitching wonderful!
My whole body was vibrating in her hands
And I didn't refuse anything anymore
Closing your eyes…
To me
His strong hands that scared me
Her clenched hands shaking me
His drunken hands that took me
Her crazy hands that carried me away
To me
And then one day, it had to
Life already separated us
Ultimate hug, trembling hands
And clinging, begging
Bright eyes, full of sweetness
The departing train: farewell of the hands
I'm going to die... goodbye, nothing more
Goodbye, My heart!
Farewell
Her white hands that enchanted me
Her tender hands stroking
Her soft hands that took me
Her dear hands that I adored…
Farewell!
