Translation of Souvenir from French to English
I love your golden skin
You who gave me everything from your delivered hand
I loved the golden skin
But now I cry your name
And now I cry your name
A bird sings, I don't know where
It is, I believe, your soul that watches
The months have passed, the seasons
But I have remained the same
Who loves, who waits for spring to come
Who loves, who waits to recognize spring one day
We will not see each other again, on Earth
Says the poem, the past comes faster than we think, la la la la
On my knees I implore sky and sea
And this sprig of heather
A memory for reward
What is this place where in the confused shadow
Demons and angels mingle?
Ah, I join you in this thick fog
That tobacco, the good joint obscure
So I cry your name
Yes, I cry your name
A bird sings, I don't know where
It is, I believe, your soul that watches
The months, as always have passed, the seasons
But I have remained the same
Who waits for spring to return
Who loves, who hopes, like being at the end of winter
We will not see each other again, on Earth
Says the poem, the past comes faster than we think, la la la la
On my knees I implore sky and sea
And this sprig of heather
Only memory for reward
Like Apollinaire
A memory for reward
We will regain confidence
We will regain confidence
Like a firm land
Like a firm land
Forever
We will regain confidence
We will regain confidence
Like a firm land
Like a firm land
Forever on the other side
On the other side of the sea
Forever
I have nothing left of you
You know, your absence belongs to me
We left each other at the edge of this wood
It's a pretty garden I think
It's a pretty garden I think
It's a pretty garden at the edge of this wood, at the edge of this wood
Where we left each other, no, no, no
We will not see each other again
We will not see each other again
We will not see each other again
We will not see each other again
Only on the other side of the sea forever
We will not see each other again
We will not see each other again
We will not see each other again
We will not see each other again
Only on the other side of the sea forever
I have nothing left of you
You know, your absence belongs to me
We left each other at the edge of this wood
We left each other there
