Lyrics
J’ai gravé quelques cœurs sur quelques arbres
Sur du sable, sur du marbre
Sur des coins de tables d'écoliers
J’ai cru en presque toutes mes histoires
A des amours derisoires
Qui ne passaient même pas l'été
Mais c'était de toi que je rêvais
C'était de toi que je brûlais mes nuits
Je changeais sans cesse les couplets
Mais c'était toi le refrain de ma vie
J’ai gravé quelques cœurs dont il ne reste
Le plus souvent que la flèche
Qu’un peu d’amertume ou de remords
La veille au soir on lui a dit: «Je t’aime»
Le matin on ne sait même
Plus le prénom de celle qui dort
Mais c'était de toi que je rêvais
C'était de toi que je brûlais mes nuits
Je changeais sans cesse les couplets
Mais c'était toi le refrain de ma vie
Je ne rêve plus tu es bien là
Mais je continue à rêver de toi
Il est fini le temps des aventures
Des conquêtes, des ruptures
Des carnets d’adresses bien remplis
Le temps des pleurs au bout du téléphone
Le temps des retours d’automne
Il n’est pas perdu puisqu’aujourd’hui
Je vois bien que mon rêve était vrai
Que c'était toi dont je brûlais mes nuits
Je changeais sans cesse les couplets
Mais c'était toi le refrain de ma vie
Je ne rêve plus tu es bien là
Et je continue à rêver de toi
Lyrics translation
I engraved some hearts on some trees
On sand, on marble
On corners of school tables
I believed in almost all my stories
A derisory loves
Who did not even spend the summer
But it was you I dreamed of
It was from you that I burned my nights
I was constantly changing the couplets
But you were the chorus of my life
I have engraved a few hearts that do not remain
Most often than the arrow
That a little bit of bitterness or remorse
The night before he was told: "I love you»
In the morning we do not even know
Plus the first name of the one who sleeps
But it was you I dreamed of
It was from you that I burned my nights
I was constantly changing the couplets
But you were the chorus of my life
I don't dream anymore. you're right there.
But I keep dreaming of you
The time of Adventures is over
Conquests, breaks
Well-filled address books
Crying time at the end of the phone
The time of autumn returns
It is not lost since today
I can see that my dream was true
That it was you whose nights I burned
I was constantly changing the couplets
But you were the chorus of my life
I don't dream anymore. you're right there.
And I keep dreaming of you
