Lyrics
Une valse triste, c’est pas toujours gai, les artistes
Il chante pour lui-même les notes qui lui viennent
Comme un vent d’automne, c’est pas toujours gai, la Pologne
Sa chanson, son chagrin l’a volée au piano
Et elle tourne sur ta stéréo
Dans la nuit quand tu as le coeur gros
Sa chanson, c’est l’adieu qu’il n’a pas su lui dire
Une musique pour se souvenir, se souvenir…
Le soleil se rallume, il a usé sa plume
Sur sa valse triste, ça dort pas souvent, les artistes
Qu’importe qui tu aimes, les adieux sont les mêmes
Et le vent d’automne va bien plus loin que la Pologne
Sa chanson, il l’a faite sans savoir comment
C’est peut-être son coeur qu’on entend
Quand un autre la chante en passant
Sa chanson, c’est l’adieu qu’il n’a pas su lui dire
Une musique pour se souvenir, se souvenir…
Devant sa page blanche un musicien commence
Une valse triste, c’est pas toujours gai, les artistes
Il chante pour lui-même les notes qui lui viennent
Comme un vent d’automne, c’est pas toujours gai, la Pologne
Lyrics translation
A sad Waltz is not always cheerful, artists
He sings for himself the notes that come to him
Like an autumn wind, it's not always cheerful, Poland
Her song, her grief stole her from the piano
And it turns on your stereo
In the night when you have a big heart
His song is the farewell he couldn't tell her
A music to remember, to remember…
The sun is turning again, he has worn out his pen
On his sad waltz, it does not sleep often, artists
No matter who you love, the goodbyes are the same
And the autumn wind goes much further than Poland
His song, he did it without knowing how
Maybe it's his heart we hear
When someone else sings it by the way
His song is the farewell he couldn't tell her
A music to remember, to remember…
In front of his blank page a musician begins
A sad Waltz is not always cheerful, artists
He sings for himself the notes that come to him
Like an autumn wind, it's not always cheerful, Poland
