Lyrics
Tu sais, je n’ai jamais ete aussi heureux que ce matin-la
Nous marchions sur une plage un peu comme celle-ci
C’etait l’automne, un automne ou il faisait beau
Une saison qui n’existe que dans le Nord de l’Amerique
La-bas on l’appelle l’ete indien
Mais c’etait tout simplement le notre
Avec ta robe longue tu ressemblais
A une aquarelle de Marie Laurencin
Et je me souviens, je me souviens tres bien
De ce que je t’ai dit ce matin-la
Il y a un an, y a un siecle, y a une eternite
On ira ou tu voudras, quand tu voudras
Et on s’aimera encore, lorsque l’amour sera mort
Toute la vie sera pareille a ce matin
Aux couleurs de l’ete indien
Aujourd’hui je suis tres loin de ce matin d’automne
Mais c’est comme si j’y etais. Je pense a toi.
Ou es-tu? Que fais-tu? Est-ce que j’existe encore pour toi?
Je regarde cette vague qui n’atteindra jamais la dune
Tu vois, comme elle je reviens en arriere
Comme elle je me couche sur le sable
Et je me souviens, je me souviens des marees hautes
Du soleil et du bonheur qui passaient sur la mer
Il y a une eternite, un siecle, il y a un an On ira ou tu voudras, quand tu voudras
Et on s’aimera encore lorsque l’amour sera mort
Toute la vie sera pareille a ce matin
Aux couleurs de l’ete indien
Indian summer
You know, I’ve never been as happy as I was that morning
We were walking along the beach a little like this one
It was that rare kind of autumn day
That you only find in North America
Over there, they call it Indian summer
But it was just «our summer»
And I can see you now in your long dress
Looking like a beautiful watercolor
And I can remember what I told you that morning
A year ago, a thousand years ago
Think of me when this is just a memory
Will you still be loving me When this summer is gone?
All my life, the taste of you will fill my life
Even when this summer is gone
Today, I’m far away from that autumn morning
But it’s almost as if I was there. I’m thinking of you
Where are you? What are you doing? Do I still exist for you?
I’m like a wave drawn by the moon
Slipping back on the sand, remembering the high tides
Remembering the happiness and the sun shining over the sea
The thousand years ago or was it just last year
Think of me when this is just a memory
Will you still be loving me When this summer is gone?
All my life, the taste of you will fill my life
Even when this summer is gone
Lyrics translation
You know, I've never been happier than this morning.
We were walking on a beach a bit like this
It was autumn, an autumn where it was beautiful
A season that only exists in the north of America
There it is called the Indian summer
But it was just ours
With your long dress you looked like
A watercolor by Marie Laurencin
And I remember, I remember very well
From what I told you this morning-la
A year ago, a century ago, an eternity ago
We'll go wherever you want, whenever you want
And we will love each other again, when Love Is Dead
All life will be the same this morning
In the colors of the Indian summer
Today I am very far from this autumn morning
But it's like I'm there. I'm thinking about you.
Where Are you? What is it you do? Do I still exist for you?
I look at this wave that will never reach the dune
You see, like her, I go back.
As she I lie on the sand
And I remember, I remember the high tides
From the sun and happiness that passed on the sea
An eternity ago, a century ago, a year ago we'll go wherever you want, whenever you want
And we'll love each other again when Love Is Dead
All life will be the same this morning
In the colors of the Indian summer
Indian summer
You know, I've never been as happy as I was that morning
We were walking along the beach a little like this one
It was that rare kind of autumn day
That you only find in North America
Over there, they call it Indian summer
But it was just " our summer»
And I can see you now in your long dress
Looking like a beautiful watercolor
And I can remember what I told you that morning
A year ago, a thousand years ago
Think of me when this is just a memory
Will you still be loving me when this summer is gone?
All my life, the taste of you will fill my life
Even when this summer is gone
Today, I’m far away from that autumn morning
But it’s almost as if I was there. I’m thinking of you
Where are you? What are you doing? Do I still exist for you?
I’m like a wave drawn by the moon
Slipping back on the sand, remembering the high tides
Remembering the happiness and the sun shining over the sea
The thousand years ago or was it just last year
Think of me when this is just a memory
Will you still be loving me When this summer is gone?
All my life, the taste of you will fill my life
Even when this summer is gone
