Les jardins de septembre [English translation]

When they left school, kids were selling their books

I watched them do, dreaming of following them

But too shy, I was going to invent imaginary games

But tonight I slept in your arms and the past just fell silent

It's a spring, it's a summer

That September gives me to love you

Here are my hands, take a good look, they don't shake anymore

And I have deep inside me

I have a huge sky deep inside me, immense love

And then again, another world of love for you

Rivers, and meadows, and hills

Where all the gardens of my melancholy go to bloom

In its light, the whole Universe is in me

But the strength to live, I think I'm still looking for it

The gardens of September are dressed in new colors

And girls are more beautiful when they are dressed in new loves

You walked close to me and your eyes were covered with sadness

And suddenly I was afraid that loving you my heart would hurt

That day, I thought I heard you without understanding you

I wish there was never autumn in the gardens of September

It's a spring, it's a summer

That September gives me to love you

Here are my hands, take a good look, they don't shake anymore

And I have deep inside me

I have a huge sky deep inside me, immense love

And then again, another world of love for you

Rivers, and meadows, and hills

Where all the gardens of my melancholy go to bloom

In its light, the whole Universe is in me

But the strength to live, I think I'm still looking for it
