Dis, quand reviendras-tu ? [English translation]

How many days it's been, how many nights it's been?

How much time has it been since you have left again

You had told me "this time, it will be the last break,

Fo' ou' torn remote hearts, it is the last shipwreck;

In spring, luv', you will see, in spring I will return

Spring, it's so beautiful to talk 'bout love n' dream

We'll go see together all the rebloomed gardens

and we will stroll throughout the nice streets of Paris"

Say!: When will you come back? ...

Say!: At least do you know? ...

That all the time that flies

Can't hardly be caught up

That all the time that's lost

Can't be caught up no more

Spring has fled already, spring has fled a long time

The dead leaves are crackling, wood fires are burnin'

To see Paris so nice in this late automn

Suddenly I languish, I dream and I 'frisson'

I reel, I rock, I roll, and like in the refrain

I go, come, twist and turn, my own self I'm draggin'

Your images haunt me, I speak to you softly

I have the hurt of love, I have the sick of thee

Say!: When will you come back? ...

Say!: At least d' you know it? ...

That all the time that goes

Can't hardly be caught up

That all the time that's lost

Can't be caught up no more

And I can love you still, I love you forever

I love no one but you, and I love you with love

If you can't figure out that you need to return

In my best memories, both of us I will turn

The world amazes me, I'll hit the road again

I will go warm myself under another sun

And though I am feeling that from grieve I could die

Do I have the virtue, faith of the sailors' wives

Say, ... but when will you be back?

Say, ... do you know it at least?

That all the time that's past

Is hardly caught again

That all the time that's lost

Never can be regained
