Lyrics
FRENCH
Cette rose embaumée
que de toi j’ai gardée,
Déjà toute fanée,
dans mes doigts va mourir
Au cours morne des heures
dans ma triste demeure,
ses pétales m’effleurent
comme des souvenirs
Ecris-moi, quelques lignes à peine
loin de toi j’ai tant de peine
qu’un mot me consolera.
Ecoute-moi sans haine
même si ta lettre est belle
Ecris-moi, ne m’abandonne pas
Qu’il est lourd le silence
de ces nuits où je pense
à ta chère présence
au doux son de ta voix
lorsqu’après tant d’ivresse
de bonheur de tendresse
tout mon coeur en détresse
ne sait plus rien de toi
Ecris-moi quelques mots peu m’importe
afin que ta lettre apporte
du soleil en mon coeur las
je ne peux plus attendre
sans savoir et sans comprendre
Ecris-moi, ne m’abandonne pas…
ENGLISH
This scented rose
Of yours that I kept,
Already faded,
Is dying between my fingers
Dull, the hours go by In my sad home,
These petals brush my skin
Like memories.
Write to me, if only a few lines
Far from you, I am so grieved
That a mere word would console me.
Listen to me without hatred
Even if you letter is beautiful
Write to me, do not abandon me.
How heavy the silence is Of these nights when I think
Of your dear presence,
Of the gentle sound of your voice
When after so much rapture,
Happiness and tenderness,
All my anguished heart
Knows nothing of you any longer.
Write to me, a few words, I don’t mind
So that your letter may bring
Sunshine in my weary heart.
I cannot keep waiting
Without knowing and understanding
Write to me, do not abandon me.
Lyrics translation
FRENCH
This embalmed rose
that I kept from you,
Already faded,
in my fingers will die
During the dreary hours
in my sad abode,
her petals touch me
as memories
Write me, just a few lines
away from you I'm so sorry
one word will comfort me.
Listen to me without hatred
even if your letter is beautiful
Write to me, don't abandon me
That it is heavy silence
of those nights where I think
to your dear presence
to the sweet sound of your voice
when after so much drunkenness
of happiness of tenderness
all my heart in distress
doesn't know anything about you anymore
Write me a few words I don't care
so that your letter brings
from the sun in my heart tired
I can't wait any longer
without knowing and without understanding
Write to me, don't abandon me…
