Lyrics and translation Nat "King" Cole - That Sunday, That Summer

That Sunday, That Summer

If I had to choose, just, one day

If I had to choose, just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be, that Sunday
The day that I met you

Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a-coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils, were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper
"Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her"

A-if I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be, when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer

(Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills)
(Summer was a-comin′ in but fast)
(Lots of daffodils were showin' off their skills)
(Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper)
("Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her, now")

If I had to choose, one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that, tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be, when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer

(If I had to choose, just one day)

Ce dimanche, cet été

Si je devais choisir, juste un jour

Si je devais choisir, juste un jour
Pour durer toute ma vie
Ce serait sûrement ce dimanche
Le jour où je t'ai rencontrée

Les jeunes Engoulevents appelaient des collines
L'été arrivait mais vite
Beaucoup de jonquilles montraient leurs talents
Hochant la tête tous ensemble, j'entendais presque les murmures
"Vas-y, embrasse-la, vas-y et embrasse-la"

Si je devais choisir un moment
Pour vivre dans mon cœur
Ce serait ce moment tendre
En se souvenant de comment nous avons commencé
Chérie, ce serait quand tu as souri à moi
De cette façon, ce dimanche, cet été

(Les jeunes Engoulevents appelaient des collines)
(L'été arrivait mais vite)
(Beaucoup de jonquilles montraient leurs talents)
(Hochant la tête tous ensemble, j'entendais presque les murmures)
("Vas-y, embrasse-la, vas-y et embrasse-la, maintenant")

Si je devais choisir un moment
Pour vivre dans mon cœur
Ce serait ce moment tendre
En se souvenant de comment nous avons commencé
Chérie, ce serait quand tu as souri à moi
De cette façon, ce dimanche, cet été

(Si je devais choisir, juste un jour)
