L'Amoureuse
Carla Bruni
The Lover
It seems like someone has summoned hope
The streets are gardens, I dance on the sidewalks
It seems like my arms have turned into wings
That with every flying moment I can touch the sky
That with every passing moment I can eat the sky
The steeples are leaning, the trees are unreasonable
They collapse under the flowers in the deepest red of autumn
The snow no longer melts, the rain sings softly
And even the streetlights seem impatient
And even the pebbles act important
Because I am the lover, yes I am the lover
And in my hands I hold the only one of all things
I am the lover, I am your lover
And I sing for you the only one of all things
Worth being there, worth being there
Time has stopped, the hours are fickle
The minutes shiver and boredom shipwrecks
Everything seems unknown, everything crunches under the teeth
And the noise of sorrow slowly fades away
And the noise of the past simply falls silent
Oh, the walls change stones,
The sky changes clouds,
Life changes ways and the mirages dance
They say we saw destiny appear
It had, nonchalantly, the air of taking everything
It had your look, your way of speaking
Because I am the lover, yes I am the lover
And in my hands I hold the only one of all things
I am the lover, I am your lover
And I sing for you the only one of all things
Worth being there, worth being there
