The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "J'aurais voulu" by Françoise Hardy.
Lyrics
Bouche demi ouverte, elle te souriait
Elle semblait offerte tous ceux qui passaient
Je la trouvais trop belle, j’aurais voulu tre elle
Pour que tes yeux me regardent comme ils la regardaient
Allonge sur la plage, ses longs cheveux dfaits
Etait-elle un mirage qui soudain t’aveuglait?
Je la trouvais trop belle, j’aurais voulu tre elle
Pour que tu veuilles de moi comme tu la voulais
Aurais-je fait de mme ta place? Aurais-je tout quitt ta place?
Appuye contre toi, heureuse et consentante
T’emmenant loin de moi, lointaine, indiffrente
Je la trouvais trop belle, j’aurais voulu tre elle
Pour te faire autant souffrir que je souffrais alors
Pour te faire autant souffrir que moi je souffre encore.
Lyrics translation
Mouth half open, she smiled at you
She seemed offered to all who passed by
I thought she was too beautiful, I wanted to be her
For your eyes to look at me the way they looked at her
Lying on the beach, her long hair dfits
Was she a mirage that suddenly blinded you?
I thought she was too beautiful, I wanted to be her
So that you want me the way you want me
Would I have made Madame your place? Would I have left your place?
Press against you, happy and willing
Taking you away from me, distant, indifferent
I thought she was too beautiful, I wanted to be her
To make you suffer as much as I did then
To make you suffer as much as I still suffer.
