Un été de porcelaine [English translation]

Hardly fifteen years to date,

and yet , aualready fifteen..

my memory is uncertain..

But my heart cannot forget...

A summer frail as porcelain..

A heart that,for the first time,

capsizes and becomes wild.

and has its first try at walking ..

I have never forgotten

That one summer you were mine

On a lonely beach, hidden

From all people and all time.

I have never forgotten

When we walked along the shore

One sweet kiss and your promise

To be mine for ever more..

I've known summers of porcelain,

after you, very often,

but none of them ever came

back with the same taste you gave them...

One day, on the beach again,

I saw a few teenagers,

who, as we'd done, the same age,

were drafting their love outline..

I have never forgotten

That one summer you were mine

On a lonely beach, hidden

From all people and all time

I have never forgotten

When we walked along the shore

One sweet kiss and your promise

To be mine for ever more

I have never forgotten

That one summer you were mine

On a lonely beach, hidden

From all people and all time

I have never forgotten

When we walked along the shore

One sweet kiss and your promise

To be mine for ever more
