Paroles et traduction Joséphine Baker - J'attendrai

J'attendrai

J'attendrai, le jour et la nuit
J'attendrai toujours
Ton retour, j'attendrai
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit
Vient chercher l'oubli dans son nid

Le temps passe et court
En battant tristement dans mon cœur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai ton retour

Les fleurs palissent
Le feu s'éteint
L'ombre se glisse
Dans le jardin
L'horloge tisse
Des sons très las
Je crois entendre ton pas

Le vent m'apporte
Des bruits lointains
Guettant ma porte
J'écoute en vain
Hélas plus rien
Plus rien ne vient

Tornerai
Da me perché l'unico sogno sei
Del mio cuor
Tornerai
Tu perché senza i tuoi
Baci languidi non vivrò

Ho qui dentro ancor
La tua voce
Che dice
Tremando amor
Tornerò perché i tuoi senza il mio cuor

Le temps passe et court
En battant tristement dans mon cœur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai ton retour

I'll Be Waiting

I'll be waiting, night and day
I'll be waiting forever
Your return, I'll be waiting
Because the bird that flew away
Comes to its nest to forget

Time flies and runs
Beating sadly in my heavy heart
And yet I'll wait for your return

The flowers fade
The fire goes out
The shadow creeps
In the garden
The clock weaves
Sounds very tired
I think I hear your footsteps

The wind brings me
Sounds far away
Guarding my door
I listen in vain
Alas nothing
Nothing comes anymore

Will you come back
Because you are the only dream I have
Of my heart
Will you come back
Because without your kisses
I will not live languishing

I still have here
Your voice
That says
Trembling love
I will come back because your heart is without mine

Time flies and runs
Beating sadly in my heavy heart
And yet I'll wait for your return
