Françoise Hardy — Première Rencontre song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Première Rencontre" by Françoise Hardy.

Lyrics

Je restais seule dans ma chambre, rêvant de celui qui viendrait
Me sortir un jour de l’enfance et avec qui je partirais loin
S’il m’avait fallu le décrire, bien sûr je me serais trompée
Mais jamais déjà sans sourire avant de l’avoir rencontré
Avant que le concert commence, quand tous les musiciens s’accordent
Un peu comme la mer qui avance, un peu comme le mal au cœur
Quand je l’ai vu c'était un peu ça, il n’avait rien de plus qu’un autre
Mais j’ai su que c'était celui-là et pas un autre.

Lyrics translation

I was alone in my room, dreaming of the one who would come
Me out one day of childhood and with whom I would go away
If I had to describe it, of course I would have been wrong
But never without a smile before meeting him
Before the concert begins, when all the musicians agree
A bit like the advancing sea, a bit like the evil in the heart
When I saw him it was a bit like that, he had nothing more than another
But I knew it was this one and not another.
