Paroles et traduction Francoise Hardy - Mazurka

Mazurka

On m′avait dit
Elle vient d'un train d′un pays
On sait rien d'elle de sa vie
Mais moi je savais, je savais,...
Mazurka, Mazurka
C'était ton histoire
Que j′inventais le soir
Un homme attendu, jamais venu
Mazurka, Mazurka
Derrière tes volets
Je te voyais pleurer
La nuit dans mon lit
Mazurka, je pensais à lui
Mazurka, disais tout bas
Mazurka, je sais qu′il viendra
Mazurka, Mazurka
Parfois dans la rue
Tu t'arrêtais perdue
Comme toi je l′aimais, je l'attendais
Mazurka
La nuit dans mon lit
Mazurka, je pensais à lui
Mazurka, disais tout bas
Mazurka, je sais qu′il viendra
Quand on m'a dit
La femme d′ailleurs est partie
Mes rêves d'enfance m'ont suivi
Moi seule je savais, je savais,...
Mazurka, Mazurka
Mon premier amour
C′était le tien
Mazurka

Mazurka

They tell me that
She came on a train from another country.
Nothing is known about her or her life.
But I knew, I knew,...
Mazurka, Mazurka,
That was your story,
The one I made up each night.
A man you were waiting for, who never came.
Mazurka, Mazurka,
Behind your shutters,
I could see you crying.
At night in my bed,
Mazurka, I thought of him.
Mazurka, I would say softly.
Mazurka, I know that he will come.
Mazurka, Mazurka.
Sometimes in the street,
You would stop, lost.
Like you, I loved him, I waited for him.
Mazurka,
At night in my bed,
Mazurka, I thought of him.
Mazurka, I would say softly.
Mazurka, I know that he will come.
When they told me,
The woman from afar has left.
My childhood dreams followed me.
Only I knew, I knew,...
Mazurka, Mazurka,
My first love.
It was yours.
Mazurka.
