Ballade pour un sourire
Sylvie Vartan
Ballad for a Smile
I waited for you almost a whole year
And now you are here
So fragile still that I'm afraid to move
When you fall asleep in my arms
We're going to spend a lot of time
One near the other to try
To understand us
To love us
And soon you will see
The first flower
How pretty she will be
At your astonished look
And I already know that after picking it
You will come and give it to me
You will know the rain and the wind
And the sunny mornings
Disappointments and friendship
And then one day will come
Where you will go, without asking me
Since life is like this
I won't be able to stop crying
As you do today
But it's enough for me in the meantime
Of your smile
To erase
All the clouds
From my thoughts
Who are only for you
I waited for you almost a whole year
And now you are here
I waited for you almost a whole year
And now you are here
