Paroles et traduction Luciano Pavarotti - La fleur que tu m'avais jetee

La fleur que tu m'avais jetee

Artist: Written by Georges Bizet
Song: La Fleur Que Tu M′avais Jetee from Carmen
Ou, tu m'entendras!
Je le veux!
La Fleur Que Tu M′avais Jetee,
Dans ma prison m'etait restee.
Fletrie et seche, cette fleur
Gardait toujours sa douce odeur;
Et pendant des heures entieres,
Sur mes yeux, fermant mes paupieres,
De cette odeur je m'enivrais
Et dans la nuit je te voyais!
Je me prenais a te maudire,
A te detester, a me dire:
Pourquoi faut-il que le destin
L′ait mise la sur mon chemin?
Puis je m′accusais de blaspheme,
Et je ne sentais en moi-meme,
Je ne sentais qu'un seul desir,
Un seul desir, un seul espoir:
Te revoir, o Carmen, ou, te revoir!
Car tu n′avais eu qu'a paraitre,
Qu′a jeter un regard sur moi,
Pour t'emparer de tout mon etre,
O ma Carmen!
Et j′etais une chose a toi
Carmen, je t'aime!

The Flower That You Threw at Me

Artist: Written by Georges Bizet
Song: The Flower That You Threw at Me from Carmen
Where, you will hear me!
I demand it!
The Flower That You Threw at Me,
Remained with me in my prison.
Withered and dry, this flower
Still kept its sweet scent;
And for hours on end,
On my eyes, closing my eyelids,
With this scent I became intoxicated
And in the night I saw you!
I began to curse you,
To detest you, to say to myself:
Why is it that fate
Put her there in my path?
Then I accused myself of blasphemy,
And I felt within myself,
I felt only one desire,
One desire, one hope:
To see you again, oh Carmen, where, to see you again!
For you had only to appear,
To cast a glance at me,
To seize all of my being,
Oh my Carmen!
And I was a thing to thee
Carmen, I love you!
