Les deux pigeons [English translation]

Two pigeons were passionately in love

But one of them left their nest

The days of waiting are long

And long are the nights without you

A pigeon missed his mate, I missed my beautiful love

Like him I long for the sound of flapping wings

The sweet sound of flapping wings of her return

I allowed the happiness that was ours

To leave with her

Down the path of our lost time

Lover, happy lover, say it over and over

Any absence is always too long

It’s worth nothing to roam the world

Love fades and the leaves fall

When the needle of the compass turns

Two pigeons were passionately in love

But one of them left their nest

The days of waiting are long

And long are the nights without you

A pigeon missed his mate, I missed my beautiful love

Like him I long for the sound of flapping wings

The sweet sound of flapping wings of her return

I allowed the happiness that was ours

To leave with her

Down the path of our lost time
