La fille aux cheveux clairs [English translation]

From the window of the train,

I saw a girl, one night

who had so light-coloured hairs,

That I thought I was dreaming,

it was nearly Sunset,

and i travelled for a very very long time,

I had asches 1 in my mouth

and I felt tired

but the hairs of this girl

so blond, so light, so clear,

gave me this freshness,

that only children can have

she wasn't waiting anything, nor anybody

I just walked out the train,

she gave me a tour of her city

and walked through wheat fields

near a wild and fast river

we slept together

and I think i loved her

on the very first night

If sometime you take the train,

keep an eye on deserted platforms

somewhere, there is this girl,

she looks like summer

she won't wait for anything, nor anybody,

but don't talk to her about me,

because I left her one morning

I still Wonder why,

she was a light-coloured hair girl

I want to preserve her reflection,

I woud like to delay winter,

but time will fade her face

I woud like to delay winter,

but you know, time will fade her face
