Lyrics and translation Les Chats Sauvages - Sa Grande Passion

Sa Grande Passion

Un bon vieux copain
Qui vient de loin
Me dit hier soir qu′il est venu me voir
Pour me dire qu'il aime enfin!
Il m′a dit le nom
De sa grande passion
Il me parlait
Et je l'écoutais
Il disait qu'elle était très jolie
Qu′il l′aimerait pour la vie
Il m'a dit le nom
De sa grande passion
{Refrain:}
Moi, j′avais les larmes aux yeux quand il parlait
Il est parti en me disant adieu
Et j'entends encore les mots qu′il me disait
Mais je ne peux faire pour lui que pleurer
Car l'autre jour
Cette femme-là
Était entre mes bras et me jurait
Que j′étais son seul amour
Je savais le nom
De sa grande passion
{Au Refrain}
Car l'autre jour
Entre mes bras
Elle m'a juré cent fois, cette femme-là,
Que j′étais son seul mon amour
Je savais le nom
De sa grande passion
Et c′était la même qui lui disait je t'aime {ad lib}

His Greatest Passion

An old friend of mine,
Traveling from afar,
Came to see me last night
To tell me he’s finally found love,
And he told me her name
His greatest passion
And he spoke to me
And I listened on,
He said how beautiful she was,
He’d love her all his life
And he told me her name
His greatest passion
{Chorus:}
I had tears in my eyes as he spoke
And he left me, bidding me farewell
And I can still hear the words he said,
But I can only weep for his sake
For the other day,
That very woman,
Was in my arms, swearing to me
That I was her one true love
And she told me her name
Her greatest passion
{Chorus}
For the other day,
In my arms,
She swore to me a hundred times,
That I was her one true love
And she told me her name
Her greatest passion
And she was the same one who told me she loved me {ad lib}
