When I Was Most Beautiful - Pete Seegertranslation in French
When
I
was
most
beautiful,
Quand
j'étais
la
plus
belle,
Cities
were
falling
Les
villes
s'effondraient
And
from
unexpected
places
Et
de
lieux
inattendus
Blue
sky
was
seen.
On
apercevait
le
ciel
bleu.
When
I
was
most
beautiful,
Quand
j'étais
la
plus
belle,
People
around
me
were
killed.
Les
gens
autour
de
moi
étaient
tués.
And
for
paint
and
powder
Et
pour
le
fard
et
la
poudre
I
lost
the
chance.
J'ai
perdu
ma
chance.
When
I
was
most
beautiful,
Quand
j'étais
la
plus
belle,
Nobody
gave
me
kind
gifts,
Personne
ne
m'a
offert
de
cadeaux
gentils,
Men
knew
only
how
to
salute
Les
hommes
savaient
seulement
saluer
And
went
away.
Et
s'en
allaient.
When
I
was
most
beautiful,
Quand
j'étais
la
plus
belle,
My
country
lost
the
war.
Mon
pays
a
perdu
la
guerre.
I
paraded
the
main
street
J'ai
défilé
sur
la
rue
principale
With
my
blouse
sleeves
rolled
high!
Avec
mes
manches
retroussées!
When
I
was
most
beautiful,
Quand
j'étais
la
plus
belle,
Jazz
overflowed
the
radio,
Le
jazz
débordait
de
la
radio,
I
broke
the
prohibition
against
smoking
J'ai
brisé
l'interdiction
de
fumer
Sweet
music
of
another
land!
Douce
musique
d'une
autre
terre!
When
I
was
most
beautiful,
Quand
j'étais
la
plus
belle,
I
was
most
unhappy,
J'étais
la
plus
malheureuse,
I
was
quite
absurd,
J'étais
tout
à
fait
absurde,
I
was
quite
lonely.
J'étais
tout
à
fait
seule.
