Tu m'attendais
{Il:}
Tu m'attendais au bord d'une forêt
Devant la mer, près d'une cheminée.
Tu m'attendais, la table était dressée.
On entendait la mer, les arbres frémissaient.
{Elle:}
Tu me cherchais de pays en pays,
De vallée en clairière, de saison en saison.
{Il:}
Tu m'attendais aux premiers jours de mai,
à la fin de l'hiver, chaque jour de l'année.
{Elle:}
Tu me cherchais de cité en cité,
De montagne en désert, de maison en maison.
{Il:}
Tu m'attendais au bord d'une forêt,
Devant la mer, près d'une cheminée.
You Were Waiting for Me
{He:}
You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest
By the sea, next to a fireplace.
You were waiting, the table was set.
We could hear the ocean, the trees were swaying.
{She:}
You were searching for me from country to country,
From valley to glade, from season to season.
{He:}
You were waiting for me on the first days of May,
At the end of winter, every day of the year.
{She:}
You were searching for me from city to city,
From mountain to desert, from house to house.
{He:}
You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest,
By the sea, next to a fireplace.
