L'été indien [English translation]

You know , I've never been as happy as I was this morning

We were walking on a beach that kind of looked like this one

It was in autumn , a sunny autumn

A season that exists only in Northern America

Over there they call it the Indian summer

But it simply was ours

With your long dress you looked

Like a watercolor by Marie Laurencin

And I remember , I remember very well

What I told you this morning

One year ago , one century ago , ages ago

We will go wherever you want , whenever you want

And we will still love each other when love is dead

Our whole life will be the same as this morning

In the colors of the Indian summer

Today I'm far away from this autumn morning

But it feels as if I was there . I'm thinking of you .

Where are you ? What are you doing ? Do I still mean to you ?

I'm looking at this wave that will never reach the moon

You see , like it I'm turning back

Like it I'm laying on the sand

And I remember , I remember the high tides

Sun and happiness passing on the sea

Ages ago , one century ago , one year ago

We will go wherever you want , whenever you want

And we will still love each other when love is dead

Our whole life will be the same as this morning

In the colors of the Indian summer
