Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - When I Was Young
When
I
was
young
and
dreams
were
new,
Quand
j'étais
jeune
et
que
mes
rêves
étaient
neufs,
I
loved
a
girl
who
looked
like
you.
J'aimais
une
fille
qui
te
ressemblait.
I
saw
her
face
in
mountains
stream.
Je
voyais
son
visage
dans
le
courant
de
la
montagne.
I
lingered
there
and
lost
myself
in
dreams.
J'y
restais
et
me
perdais
dans
mes
rêves.
But
we
were
young
and
tossed
away
Mais
nous
étions
jeunes
et
avons
jeté
Our
precious
love
along
the
way.
Notre
précieux
amour
en
cours
de
route.
We
parted
strangers,
thoughtless
and
free
Nous
nous
sommes
séparés,
étrangers,
insouciants
et
libres
And
set
our
hearts
to
wandering
aimlessly.
Et
nous
avons
laissé
nos
cœurs
errer
sans
but.
But
looking
back,
somehow
I
see
Mais
en
regardant
en
arrière,
je
vois
en
quelque
sorte
How
seldom
love
has
come
to
me.
Comme
l'amour
est
rarement
venu
à
moi.
And
I
confess
that
now
and
then
Et
j'avoue
que
de
temps
en
temps
I
think
of
her
remembering
when
Je
pense
à
elle
en
me
souvenant
quand
If
I
were
young
and
dreams
were
new,
Si
j'étais
jeune
et
que
mes
rêves
étaient
neufs,
I′d
love
a
girl
who
looked
like
you.
J'aimerais
une
fille
qui
te
ressemble.
I'd
hold
her
close
if
she′d
agree
Je
la
tiendrais
près
de
moi
si
elle
était
d'accord
To
love
perhaps
a
boy
who
looked
like
me.
Pour
aimer
peut-être
un
garçon
qui
me
ressemblait.
