Les feuilles mortes
Édith Piaf
Dead leaves
Oh ! I would like you to remember
Happy days when we were friends.
In those days life was more beautiful,
And the sun hotter than today.
Dead leaves are collected by the shovel.
You see, I haven't forgotten...
Dead leaves are collected by the shovel,
Memories and regrets too
And the north wind carries them away
In the cold night of oblivion.
You see, I haven't forgotten
The song you sang to me.
{Chorus:}
This song reminds me of us.
You loved me and I loved you
And we both lived together,
You who loved me, me who loved you.
But life separates those who love each other,
Quietly, without making any noise
And the sea washes over the sand
The footsteps of disunited lovers.
Dead leaves are collected by the shovel,
Memories and regrets too
But my silent and faithful love
Always smile and thank life.
I loved you so much, you were so pretty.
How do you want me to forget you?
In those days, life was more beautiful
And the sun hotter than today.
You were my sweetest friend
But I don't care about regrets
And the song you sang,
Always, always I will hear it!
{Chorus}
