Le soldat - Carmen Maria Vega traduction en anglais

Le soldat

Et déjà je me retrouvais vaincue devant cet homme là
Devant ses yeux qui me savaient perdue entre ses bras
Moi je nous y voyais déjà et comme j'avais le coeur à l'air
J'aurais voulu pouvoir me taire

Moi je traînais là, il est venu à moi
Il avait l'air pauvre mais je l'aimais déjà

Il était soldat, un peu sans foi ni loi
On aurait dit un fauve tatoué sur les bras

Et déjà je me retrouvais vaincue devant cet homme là
Devant ses yeux qui me savaient perdue entre ses bras
Moi je nous y voyais déjà et comme j'avais le coeur à l'air
J'aurais voulu pouvoir me taire, mais le mot m'échappa

Je lui disais je t'aime
Il ne répondait pas

Il me voulait moi, il était milliataire
Et il passait par là, je me souviens je crois
Le temps d'une nuit, et puis il est parti
Et je suis restée là regardant le convois

Et plus jamais je n'oublierais la venue de cet homme là
Quand dans ses yeux il me savait perdu entre ses bras
Moi je nous y voyais déjà et comme j'avais le coeur à l'air
J'aurais voulu pouvoir me taire, mais quand il m'échappa

Je lui criais je t'aime
Il ne se retourna pas

The soldier

And already I found myself defeated in front of that man
In front of his eyes that knew I was lost in his arms
I already saw us there and as my heart was exposed
I would have wanted to be able to keep quiet

I was lingering there, he came to me
He looked poor but I already loved him

He was a soldier, a little lawless
He looked like a wild beast tattooed on his arms

And already I found myself defeated in front of that man
In front of his eyes that knew I was lost in his arms
I already saw us there and as my heart was exposed
I would have wanted to be able to keep quiet, but the word escaped me

I told him I love you
He didn't answer

He wanted me, he was a military man
And he was passing by, I seem to remember
For one night, and then he left
And I stayed there watching the convoy

And never again will I forget the arrival of that man
When in his eyes he knew I was lost in his arms
I already saw us there and as my heart was exposed
I would have wanted to be able to keep quiet, but when it escaped me

I cried to him I love you
He didn't turn around
