Текст и перевод песни Charles Aznavour - Il y avait

Il y avait

Il y avait un garçon qui vivait simplement
Travaillant dans l'faubourg
Il y avait une fille qui rêvait sagement
En attendant l'amour

Il y avait le printemps
Le printemps des romans
Qui passait en chantant
Et cherchait deux cœurs tout blanc
Pour prêter ses serments
Et en faire des amants

Il y a eu un moment merveilleux
Lorsque leurs regards se sont unis
Il y a eu ces instants délicieux
Où sans rien dire ils se sont compris

Il y a eu le destin
Qui a poussé l'gamin
À lui prendre la main
Il y a eu la chaleur
La chaleur du bonheur
Qui leur montait au cœur

Il y avait cette chambre meublée
Aux fenêtres donnant sur la cour
Il y avait ce couple qui s'aimait
Et leurs phrases parlaient de toujours

Il y avait le gamin
Qui promenait sa main
Dans les cheveux de lin
De la fille aux yeux rêveurs
Tandis que dans leur cœur
S'installait le bonheur

Il y a eu ces deux corps éperdus de bonheur
Et de joie sans pareils
Il y a eu tous ces rêves perdus
Qui remplaçaient leurs nuits sans sommeil

Il y a eu le moment
Où soudain le printemps
A repris ses serments
Il y a eu le bonheur
Qui s'est enfui en pleurs
D'avoir brisé deux cœurs

Il y avait un garçon qui vivait simplement
Travaillant dans l'faubourg
Il y avait une fille qui pleurait en songeant
À son premier amour

Il y avait le destin
Qui marchait son chemin
Sans s'occuper de rien
Tant qu'il y aura des amants
Il y aura des serments
Qui n'dureront qu'un pritemps

There Was

There was a boy who lived simply,
Working in the suburbs,
There was a girl who dreamed wisely,
Waiting for love,

There was spring,
The spring of romance,
Which passed by singing,
And looked for two hearts, pure and white,
To lend its vows,
And make them lovers,

There was a marvelous moment,
When their eyes met,
There were those delicious moments,
Where without saying anything, they understood each other,

There was fate,
Which pushed the boy,
To take her hand,
There was warmth,
The warmth of happiness,
Which rose in their hearts,

There was this furnished room,
With windows overlooking the courtyard,
There was this couple who loved each other,
And their sentences spoke of forever,

There was the boy,
Who ran his hand
Through the flaxen hair
Of the girl with dreamy eyes,
While in their hearts,
Happiness settled,

There were those two bodies, lost in happiness
And unmatched joy,
There were all those lost dreams,
Which replaced their sleepless nights,

There was the moment,
Where suddenly the spring,
Resumed its vows,
There was happiness,
Which ran away in tears,
For breaking two hearts,

There was a boy who lived simply,
Working in the suburbs,
There was a girl who cried as she thought
About her first love,

There was fate,
Who walked his path,
Without caring about anything,
As long as there are lovers,
There will be vows
Which will only last a spring,
