Fading from the forgotten sadness
The sound of the broken heart weakens
And the ash whitens the embers
I drank the summer like a sweet wine
I dreamed during this month of August
In a pink castle in Corrèze

Fading from the forgotten sadness
The sound of the broken heart weakens
And the ash whitens the embers
What was it that suddenly made
A heavy sob in the garden?
A muted reproach in the breeze?

Ah, don't wake me up too early
Just a moment of bel canto
Despair demobilizes
Despair demobilizes

It seemed to me for a moment
To hear in the middle of the wheat fields

Confusedly the noise of weapons
Where did this great sorrow come from
Neither the carnation nor the rosemary
Have kept the scent of tears

I lost I don't know how
The dark secret of my torment
In turn, the shadow dismembers itself
I was looking endlessly
For this pain without memory
When the dawn of September appeared

Ah, don't wake me up too early
Just a moment of bel canto
Despair demobilizes
Despair demobilizes

Ah, don't wake me up too early
Just a moment of bel canto
Despair demobilizes
Despair demobilizes

My love, I was in your arms
Outside someone murmured
An old song of France
My pain finally recognized itself
And its refrain like a bare foot
Disturbed the green water of silence

Ah, don't wake me up too early
Just a moment of bel canto
Despair demobilizes
Despair demobilizes

It seemed to me for a moment
To hear in the middle of the wheat fields
Confusedly the noise of weapons
Where did this great sorrow come from
Neither the carnation nor the rosemary
Have kept the scent of tears

Where did this great sorrow come from
Neither the carnation nor the rosemary
Have kept the scent of tears

Where did this great sorrow come from
Neither the carnation nor the rosemary
Have kept the scent of tears
Have kept the scent of tears
Have kept the scent of tears
Have kept the scent of tears
