J'attendrai [English translation]

I will wait

Day and night, I will always await

Your return

Because the bird that flies away will always come back

to its nest

Time passes and flies by

Beating sadly

In my heavy heart

Even so, I still await

Your return

Flowers are fading away

The fire is out

Shadows are falling

In the garden

The clock ticks

With an unhappy tone

I think I can hear your footsteps

The wind brings me

Far away sounds

I watch my door

And listen in vain

Alas, there is nothing

Nothing comes

I will wait

Day and night, I will always await

Your return

I will wait

Because the bird that flies away will always come back

To its nest

Time passes and flies by

Beating sadly

In my heavy heart

Even so, I will await

Your return

Come back quickly

The days are cold

And the nights without you

Are without end

When we are apart

We tend to forget

But being back together is so sweet

If my sadness

Can move you

With tenderness

Come back one night

And in your arms

Everything will return as before

Time passes and flies by

Beating sadly

In my heavy heart

Even so, I will await

Your return
