Le jour du retour [English translation]

What long, long, long days

until your return—

since you left me.

I no longer think that we are lost

because I want to get married

But I hope finally

that next spring

I will have the joy of dreaming in your arms.

If you come back and end all my disappointment,

love will resume its path.

I read in your letter:

"Honey, wait for me

because I too miss you.

See you soon, perhaps,

and when that beautiful day arrives,

my heart will be overjoyed."

Because I will never say

yes until you come back.

What long, long, long days

until your return

because we are going to get married.

~ ~

Because I will never say

yes until you come back.

What long, long, long days

until your return

because we are going to get married—

to get married—to get married.
