Lyrics and translation Tim Buckley - Once I Was (Remastered)
Once
I
was
a
soldier
J'étais
un
soldat
And
I
fought
on
foreign
sands
for
you
Et
je
me
suis
battu
sur
des
sables
étrangers
pour
toi
Once
I
was
a
hunter
J'étais
un
chasseur
And
I
brought
home
fresh
meat
for
you
Et
je
ramenais
de
la
viande
fraîche
pour
toi
Once
I
was
a
lover
J'étais
un
amant
And
I
searched
behind
your
eyes
for
you
Et
je
cherchais
dans
tes
yeux
pour
toi
And
soon
there'll
be
another
Et
bientôt
il
y
en
aura
un
autre
To
tell
you
I
was
just
a
lie
Pour
te
dire
que
j'étais
juste
un
mensonge
And
sometimes
I
wonder
Et
parfois
je
me
demande
Just
for
a
while
Ne
serait-ce
que
pour
un
instant
Will
you
remember
me
Te
souviendras-tu
de
moi
And
though
you
have
forgotten
Et
même
si
tu
as
oublié
All
of
our
rubbish
dreams
Tous
nos
rêves
insignifiants
I
find
myself
searching
Je
me
retrouve
à
chercher
Through
the
ashes
of
our
ruins
Dans
les
cendres
de
nos
ruines
For
the
days
when
we
smiled
Les
jours
où
nous
sourions
And
the
hours
that
ran
wild
Et
les
heures
qui
passaient
follement
With
the
magic
of
our
eyes
Avec
la
magie
de
nos
yeux
And
the
silence
of
our
words
Et
le
silence
de
nos
mots
And
sometimes
I
wonder
Et
parfois
je
me
demande
Just
for
a
while
Ne
serait-ce
que
pour
un
instant
Will
you
remember
me
Te
souviendras-tu
de
moi
