Lyrics and translation Harry Belafonte feat. Lena Horne - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
The
First
Time
Ever
I
Saw
Your
Face
La
première
fois
que
j'ai
vu
ton
visage
I
thought
the
sun
rose
in
your
eyes
J'ai
pensé
que
le
soleil
se
levait
dans
tes
yeux
And
the
moon
and
the
stars
were
the
gifts
you
gave
Et
la
lune
et
les
étoiles
étaient
les
cadeaux
que
tu
faisais
To
the
night
and
the
empty
skies
my
love
À
la
nuit
et
au
ciel
vide
mon
amour
To
the
night
and
the
empty
skies
À
la
nuit
et
au
ciel
vide
The
first
time
ever
I
kissed
your
mouth
La
première
fois
que
j'ai
embrassé
ta
bouche
I
felt
the
earth
turn
in
my
hand
J'ai
senti
la
terre
tourner
dans
ma
main
Like
the
trembling
heart
of
a
captive
bird
Comme
le
cœur
tremblant
d'un
oiseau
captif
That
was
there
at
my
command
my
love
Qui
était
là
à
ma
disposition
mon
amour
That
was
there
at
my
command
Qui
était
là
à
ma
disposition
The
first
time
ever
I
lay
with
you
La
première
fois
que
je
me
suis
allongé
avec
toi
And
felt
your
heart
beat
close
to
mine
Et
j'ai
senti
ton
cœur
battre
près
du
mien
I
thought
our
joy
would
fill
the
earth
Je
pensais
que
notre
joie
remplirait
la
terre
And
would
last
'till
the
end
of
time
my
love
Et
durerait
jusqu'à
la
fin
des
temps
mon
amour
And
would
last

time

la
fin
des
temps
