paroles de chanson Clementine - Svavar Knútur

Oh my darling Clementine,
How could I leave while you were sleeping?
Oh my darling Clementine,
I couldn't bear to hear you weeping.

You tried to teach me right from wrong,
And you tried to burn off all my bad ways.
But misery's a stubborn friend,
And she persists, in spite of good days.

So I sailed from your white sands,
On a ship of broken plans.
And your face was on my mind,
Oh my darling Clementine.

Oh my lovely Clementine,
It's such a hell to be without you.
My soul tormented every night,
And every day, I think about you.

I adored you foolish charm,
Never meant to do you harm.
And your pain was on my mind.
Oh my darling Clementine.

Oh my precious Clementine,
I never dared to look behind me.
All this time I ran and ran,
And I ran aground,
And I pray you'll find me.

And with all the bad I've done,
I realize that you're the one.
And I hope you'll still be mine,
Oh my darling Clementine.
