Lyrics
Homme
Tu m’attendais au bord d’une forêt
Devant la mer, près d’une cheminée.
Tu m’attendais, la table était dressée.
On entendait la mer, les arbres frémissaient.
Femme
Tu me cherchais de pays en pays,
De vallée en clairière, de saison en saison.
Homme
Tu m’attendais aux premiers jours de mai,
à la fin de l’hiver, chaque jour de l’année.
Femme
Tu me cherchais de cité en cité,
De montagne en désert, de maison en maison.
Homme
Tu m’attendais au bord d’une forêt,
Devant la mer, près d’une cheminée.
Lyrics translation
Man
You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest
In front of the sea, near a fireplace.
You were waiting for me, the table was set.
You could hear the sea, the trees were quivering.
Woman
You were looking for me from country to country,
From Valley to clearing, season to season.
Man
You were waiting for me in the first days of May,
at the end of winter, every day of the year.
Woman
You've been looking for me from city to city,
From mountain to desert, from house to house.
Man
You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest,
In front of the sea, near a fireplace.
