Le temps [English translation]

Come to my arms and I will be so tender

Let me reveal all that living can be

Snug like a child in the shadow of my shoulder

Then as I hold you, you may start lovin' me.

There is a time for spring and for sighing

A time for love

A time to for crying

A time for dreams and for sweet pretending

And then it seems that suddenly its ending

This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste

We know the time we have can not be replaced

This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate

We know our time is brief and it can not wait.

There is a time for hope and beginning

A time to lose a time to for winning

A time to waste on lazy vacations

And a time for haste and beautiful temptations

This time, this time this time there's no time to waste

We know the time we have can not be replaced

This time this time this time let's not hesitate

We know our time is brief and it can not wait.

There is a time for fame and for glory

A time for pride, a time to be sorry

A time to drift on wide summer riddles

A time for snow and icicles and shivers.

This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste

We know the time we have can not be replaced

This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate

We know our time is brief and it can not wait.

There is a time of Autumn and sadness

A time for youth and love's happy madness

A time for truth and being together

To go for walks in sunny, brittle weather

This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste

We fade away as fast as the morning breaks

This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate

So take my love, my life my eagerness this time

This time, this time this time there's no time to waste

We fade away as fast as the morning breaks

This time this time this time let's not hesitate

So take my love, my life my eager kiss

For time flows on,

And on, and on.
