Lyrics and translation Dinah Washington - I Was Telling Him About You

I Was Telling Him About You

His arms were around me, his eyes were aglow
The moment was tender, the music was low
But while we were dancing, I think you should know
I was telling him about you.
He kept coming closer, the magic was there
He wore an expression that made people stare
It looked so romantic but, darling, I swear
I was telling him about you.

When you danced by and caught my eye
You didn't say a word.
You turned about and walked right out
And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard.

Come back to me darling. I must make you see
That things aren't always as they seem to be.
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me.
I was telling him about you.

Je vous parlais de vous

Ses bras étaient autour de moi, ses yeux brillaient
Le moment était tendre, la musique douce
Mais pendant que nous dansions, je crois que tu dois savoir
Je lui parlais de toi.
Il se rapprochait sans cesse, la magie était là
Il avait une expression qui faisait que les gens le regardaient
Cela avait l'air si romantique mais, mon cher, je te jure
Je lui parlais de toi.

Quand tu es passé en dansant et que tu as croisé mon regard
Tu n'as pas dit un mot.
Tu t'es retourné et tu es sorti
Et le silence a été le plus fort que j'aie jamais entendu.

Reviens vers moi, mon cher. Je dois te faire comprendre
Que les choses ne sont pas toujours ce qu'elles semblent être.
Le garçon dans mes bras ne signifiait rien pour moi.
Je lui parlais de toi.
