Lyrics

Tu m’as dit: «Reprenons notre liberté.
C’est fini, il vaut beaucoup mieux nous quitter
Et refaire sa vie chacun de son côté.
Voici la fin d’un long poème…»
Je t’ai dit: «C'est bien! Mais il faut m’aider:
'y a quelqu’un qui m’aime et m’attend à côté.
Il ne veut pas croire que je peux l’aimer,
L’aimer…autant qu’il m’aime…»
Toi qui sais comment je suis quand je suis amoureuse,
Dis-lui…
Toi qui sais comment je suis lorseque je suis heureuse,
Dis-lui…
Rassemble tous nos souvenirs
Et puis va-t-en lui dire
Comme nous avons pu rire
Ensemble…
Toi qui sais combien je suis fidèle à mon amour,
Dis-lui…
Va lui dire comment aimer ce grand amour,
Va lui dire que ce fut le plus beau des jours.
Raconte-lui comment tu m’avais fait la cour
Et que c'était un beau dimanche.
Va lui dire l'éblouissement de nos matins
Et comment nous vivions, la main dans la main.
Nos baisers qui ne connaissaient pas de fin
Et puis nos folles nuits blanches…
Toi qui sais comment je suis quand le printemps est là,
Dis-lui…
Toi qui sais comment je suis quand tu es dans mes bras,
Dis-lui…
Insiste ! Dis-lui notre vie
Et puis surtout, dis-lui
Que loin de toi, je suis triste…
Toi qui sais que mon amour pour toi
Jamais ne finira…
Ne lui dis pas…
Je t’en supplie…
Ou bien… dis-lui…

Lyrics translation

You said, " Let's take back our freedom.
It's over, it's much better to leave us
And make a new life for each of us.
Here is the end of a long poem…»
I said, " that's good! But you have to help me:
'there's someone who loves me and is waiting for me next door.
He doesn't want to believe that I can love him,
Love him ... as much as he loves me…»
You who know how I am when I'm in love,
Tell him…
You who know how I am when I am happy,
Tell him…
Gather all our memories
And then will you tell him
How could we laugh
Whole…
You who know how faithful I am to my love,
Tell him…
Will tell him how to love this great love,
Go tell him it was the best of days.
Tell him How You Made Me court.
And that it was a beautiful Sunday.
Go tell him the glare of our mornings
And how we lived, hand in hand.
Our kisses that knew no end
And then our crazy white nights…
You who know how I am when spring is here,
Tell him…
You who know how I am when you're in my arms,
Tell him…
Insist ! Tell him our life
And then most of all, tell him
That far from you, I'm sad…
You who know my love for you
It will never end…
Don't tell him…
I beg you…
Or ... tell him…
