Paroles et traduction Caterina Valente - Je n'avais pas compris

Je n'avais pas compris

J'n'avais pas compris
Quand tu es parti
Que je n'pourrais pas
Vivre loin de toi
J'avais décidé
Que je t'oublierais
J'avais oublié
Que je t'adorais
C'était peut-être parce que
On n'se l'disait plus
Il me semblait que
On ne s'aimait plus
Devant la vérité
J'étais toute petite
Car je t'adorais
Bien plus que la vie
Mais oui
Bien plus que la vie
Chéri
J'n'avais rien compris
Le temps a passé
Et j'ai tout tenté
J'ai même essayé
De te remplacer
Mais quand il parlait
Je n'l'entendais pas
Et quand il riait
J'me demandais pourquoi
Il était surement
Bien plus beau que toi
Mais c'était troublant
Je ne le voyais pas
Quand à nos étreintes
Je n'en parlerai pas
Ses soupirs ses plaintes
C'était toujours toi
Quand à nos étreintes
Je n'en parlerai pas
Ses soupirs ses plaintes
C'était toujours toi
Pourquoi?
Ne reviens-tu pas
Si tu passes par là?

I Didn't Understand

I didn't understand
When you left
That I couldn't
Live without you
I had decided
I would forget you
I had forgotten
That I adored you
Perhaps it was because
We no longer said it
It seemed to me
We didn't love each other anymore
Faced with the truth
I was too small
Because I adored you
More than life itself
Yes
More than life itself
Darling
I didn't understand anything
Time passed
And I tried everything
I even tried
To replace you
But when he spoke
I didn't listen to him
And when he laughed
I wondered why
He was certainly
Much more handsome than you
But it was strange
I didn't see it
As for our embraces
I won't talk about them
His sighs, his complaints
It was always you
As for our embraces
I won't talk about them
His sighs, his complaints
It was always you
Why?
Don't you come back
If you happen to pass by?
