Dis, Quand Reviendras-tu?

Here are how many days, here are how many nights
Here is how long you've been gone
You told me this time, it's the last journey
For our torn hearts, it's the last shipwreck
In the spring, you'll see, I'll be back
Spring is lovely for talking about love
We will go see together the gardens in bloom
And stroll through the streets of Paris

Tell me, when will you return
Tell me, at least do you know
That all the time that passes
Can hardly be caught up
That all the lost time
Can't be regained

Spring has long since fled
The dead leaves crackle, the fires burn
To see Paris so beautiful in this late autumn
Suddenly I grow weak, I dream, I shiver
I sway, I capsize, and like the refrain
I go, I come, I turn, I drag myself
Your image haunts me, I speak to you softly
And I have lovesickness, and I miss you

Tell me, when will you return
Tell me, at least do you know

That all the time that passes
Can hardly be caught up
That all the lost time
Can't be regained
I may still love you, I may still love you always
I may only love you, I may love you with love

If you don't understand that you need to come back
I will make of us two, my most beautiful memories
I will take up my journey, the world amazes me
I will warm myself in another sun
I am not one of those who die of sorrow
I do not have the virtue of sailor's women

Tell me, when will you return
Tell me, at least do you know

That all the time that passes
Can hardly be caught up
That all the lost time
Can't be regained
