Une femme avec toi

I used to hang out with some strange men
As light as the ash of their cigars
They
Threw parties at the castle of Versailles
They were nothing but straw castles
And I was wasting my time in this golden desert
I was alone when I met you

The others were burying themselves, you were alive
You sang like a child sings
You were cheerful like an Italian
When he knows he will have love and wine
And finally for the first time
I finally felt

Woman, woman, a woman with you
Woman, woman, a woman with you
You looked a bit like that old tune
Where all white horses galloped
Your face was serious and your smile clear
I walked straight towards your light
Today no matter what we do

We make love
Near you time seems so short
Because you are a man and you are kind
And you know how to make our lives beautiful
You are cheerful like an Italian
When he knows he will have love and wine
It's always like the first time
When I finally became

Woman, woman, a woman with you
Woman, oh!
Woman, a woman with you
Woman, woman, a woman with you
