Et jcoutais longtemps couler leau des fontaines
Et jcoutais le vent chanter infiniment
Vagues de quitude et de paix
Daussi loin que je me souvienne
Lenfance est un immense ocan
And I was listening a long time fountains water pour
And I was listening the wind sing for ever
Waves of quietude and peace
As far as I remember
Childhood is an immense ocean
Et je rvais longues annes, longue indolence
O rien ne se passe mais o rien ne soublie
Jallais sereine et sans connatre
Le moindre feu dune absence
And I dreamed long years, long indolence
Where nothing happens but where nothing is forgotten
I was going serene and without knowing
The smallest fire of an absence
Ce nest quen te croisant
Que jai su, jai compris
Thats only when meeting you
That I knew, I understood
Jattendais, jattendais
Jattendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
Jattendais, jattendais
Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains
Ma douce boussole mon nord,
Le sens mes demains
I was waiting, I was waiting
The country of your body the touch of your hands
My dear compass my north
The meaning to my tomorrows
Et jabordais les troubles rives adolescentes
Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants
Je me souviens les coups de sang
Des musiques et des mots de france
Amants davant
And I was boarding the adolescent beaches
Doubts, games, and bad flowings
I remember the strokes
Musics and words from france
Past lovers
Ya bien des vies quon nourrit dtude ou de science
Destins faits daventures, de records ou dargent
Des vies dcriture et de voyage
Ou de rve de puissance
Jy pensais bien de temps en temps,
En coutant le vent
Theres a lot of lives feeded from studies or science
Destinies make from adventures, from records or money
Lives of writting and voyages
Or from puissance dream
I tought about that from time to time
Listening the wind
Jattendais, jattendais
Jattendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
Jattendais, jattendais, jattendais ton amour
Ton beau ton bel amour
Je lattendais pour enfin vivre
En donnant mon tour
I was waiting, I was waiting I was waiting your love
