Nous nous aimerons tant que nous tairons...
Language: French (Français)
Nous nous aimerons tant que nous tairons nos mots,
en nous tendant la main, quand nous nous reverrons.
Vous serez ombragée par d'anciens rameaux
sur le banc que je sais où nous nous assoirons.
C'est là que votre amie, cette fée du hameau,
gracieuse comme au temps de Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
et bonne comme on est quand on a bien souffert,
c'est là, dans le secret de ces asiles verts,
qu'elle parla de vous à celui qui vous aime.
Donc nous nous assoirons sur ce banc, tous deux seuls,
à l'heure où le soleil empourprant l'écureuil
descend sur la pelouse où sont les poulinières.
D'un long moment, ô mon amie, vous n'oserez...
Que vous me serrez douce et que je tremblerai...

We will love each other so much
Language: English after the French (Français)
We will love each other so much that we won't speak
but just stretch out our hands to each other when we see each other again.
You will be in the shadow of ancient branches,
on the bench where I know we will sit.
So we'll sit on that bench, alone together...
For a long moment, sweetheart, you won't dare...
How sweet you will be to me, and how I shall tremble...
