Sur Le Pont de L'alma Mía
Agnès Jaoui
On the Bridge of My Soul
Just one look, a simple look that brushes against you
Just one smile and just a smile that flies away
It's enough for it to settle in your heart to unsettle you
For a beaten spirit to capitulate, give up.
He was there on the bridge of my soul
In deep conversation, such lovely sounds escaped
Even in the evening, I thought I knew.
I could leave everything, go, follow him wherever he wants
I could kiss him, go so far, very far as much as needed
How do you say 'love at first sight' in Spanish?
But how pretty is that girl passing by
Looking at me as she passes and crosses...
If it's like this in Paris, if it's normal the way she looks
It seems more like she wants to come talk to me.
Very slowly she's passing by
And so close to me that I can feel pulsating
Her heart in mine.
I could leave everything, go, follow him wherever he wants
I could kiss him, go so far, very far as much as needed
How do you say 'I love you' in Spanish?
I think he's looking at me, smiling at me, I'm lost
I slow down my pace a bit without really believing it
Is he already behind me, time to change my story?
Will I have the courage to force fate?
What a strange joy for the first time
This bridge seems a bit short, my soul
Is it you, my love
In front of whom I dare not?
His body has passed, he's already moving away
Slowly his back is waving goodbye
And if I were to go towards her, by her side and say something
What would I say, what would she say, what will she say?
Could I approach her and talk to her like this
Under the light of her little eyes, I would take her hands there
I would hug her until she falls in love...
I could leave everything, go, follow him wherever he wants
I could kiss him, go so far, very far as much as needed
I would hug her until she falls in love...
I would hug her until she falls in love...
