Lyrics and translation Frank Sinatra - I Loved Her

I Loved Her

She was Boston, I was Vegas
She was crepe suzette, I was pie
She was lectures, I was movies, but I loved her
She was Mozart, I was Macy
She was afternoon tea, I was saloon
She was Junior League, I was Dodgers
But I loved her morning, night and noon
Opposites attract, the wise men claim
Still I wish that we had been a little more the same
It might have been a shot out war
If we had know each other more
She was polo, I was race track
She was museum, I was G.P.
She did her best to change me
Though she never never knew quite how
But I loved her, almost as much as I do now
She was Wall Street, I was pawn shop
She was French champagne, I was beer
She knew much more than I did
But there was one thing she didn′t know
That I loved her, 'cause I never, never told her so.

Je l'aimais

Tu étais Boston, j'étais Vegas
Tu étais une crêpe suzette, j'étais une tarte
Tu étais des conférences, j'étais des films, mais je t'aimais
Tu étais Mozart, j'étais Macy
Tu étais le thé de l'après-midi, j'étais le saloon
Tu étais la Junior League, j'étais les Dodgers
Mais je t'aimais matin, midi et soir
Les contraires s'attirent, prétendent les sages
Pourtant, j'aurais aimé que nous soyons un peu plus semblables
Cela aurait pu être une guerre de tirs
Si nous nous étions mieux connus
Tu étais polo, j'étais champ de courses
Tu étais un musée, j'étais un médecin généraliste
Tu as fait de ton mieux pour me changer
Bien que tu n'aies jamais vraiment su comment
Mais je t'aimais, presque autant que maintenant
Tu étais Wall Street, j'étais un prêteur sur gages
Tu étais du champagne français, j'étais de la bière
Tu en savais beaucoup plus que moi
Mais il y avait une chose que tu ne savais pas
Que je t'aimais, parce que je ne te l'ai jamais, jamais dit.
