Billie Holiday - I Cover the Waterfront (Live) (Live (1954/Cologne)) - translation of the lyrics into French




I Cover the Waterfront (Live) (Live (1954/Cologne))
Je couvre le rivage (En direct) (En direct (1954/Cologne))
Away from the city that hurts and mocks
Loin de la ville qui me blesse et se moque de moi
I′m standing alone by the desolate docks.
Je suis seule, debout près des quais désolés.
In the still and the chill of the night.
Dans le silence et le froid de la nuit.
I see the horizon, the great unknown.
Je vois l'horizon, le grand inconnu.
My heart has an ache its as heavy as stone.
Mon cœur a un mal aussi lourd que la pierre.
Will the dawn coming on make it light?
L'aube qui se lève éclairera-t-elle mon chemin ?
I cover the waterfront;
Je couvre le rivage ;
I'm watching the sea.
Je regarde la mer.
Will the one I love be coming back to me?
Mon amour reviendra-t-il à moi ?
I cover the waterfront;
Je couvre le rivage ;
In search of my love,
À la recherche de mon amour,
And I′m covered by a starlit sky above
Et je suis enveloppée par un ciel étoilé
Here am I patiently waiting, hoping and longing
Je suis ici, attendant patiemment, espérant et désirant
Oh, how I yearn!
Oh, comme je languis !
Where are you?
es-tu ?
Areyou forgetting?
M'oublies-tu ?
Doyou remember?
Te souviens-tu ?
Will you return?
Reviendras-tu ?
I cover the waterfront
Je couvre le rivage
I'm watching the sea
Je regarde la mer
For the one I love must soon come back to me.
Car mon amour doit bientôt revenir à moi.
For the one I love must soon come back to me.
Car mon amour doit bientôt revenir à moi.
