Текст и перевод песни Edith Piaf - L'etranger

L'etranger

Il avait un air très doux,
Des yeux rêveurs un peu fous
Aux lueurs étranges.
Comme bien des gars du Nord,
Dans ses cheveux un peu d′or,
Un sourire d'ange.
J′allais passer sans le voir
Mais quand il m'a dit bonsoir
D'une voix chantante,
J′ai compris que, ce soir-là,
Malgré la pluie et le froid,
Je serais contente.
Il avait un regard très doux.
Il venait de je ne sais où.
D′où viens-tu? Quel est ton nom?
Le navire est ma maison.
La mer mon village.
Mon nom, nul ne le saura.
Je suis simplement un gars
Ardent à l'ouvrage
Et si j′ai le cur trop lourd,
Donne-moi donc un peu d'amour,
Espoir de caresses.
Et moi, fille au cur blasé,
J′ai senti, sous ses baisers,
Une ardente ivresse.
Il avait un regard très doux
Il venait de je ne sais où.
Simplement, sans boniments,
J'aimais mon nouvel amant,
Mon époux d′une heure.
Comme bien des malheureux,
Il croyait lire en mes yeux
La femme qu'on pleure
Et, follement, j'espérais
Qu′au matin, il me dirait
Suis-moi je t′emmène.
J'aurais dit oui, je le sens,
Mais il a fui, me laissant
Rivée à ma chaîne.
Il avait un regard très doux.
Il venait de je ne sais où.
J′ai rêvé de l'étranger
Et, le cur tout dérangé
Par les cigarettes,
Par l′alcool et le cafard,
Son souvenir chaque soir
M'a tourné la tête
Mais on dit que, près du port,
On a repêché le corps
D′un gars de marine
Qui, par l'amour délaissé,
Ne trouva pour le bercer
Que la mer câline.
Il avait un regard très doux.
Il s'en allait je ne sais où

The Stranger

He had a very gentle air,
Dreamy eyes a little crazy
With strange gleams.
Like many guys from the North,
In his slightly golden hair,
An angel's smile.
I was going to pass without seeing him
But when he said good evening to me
In a singing voice,
I understood that, that night,
Despite the rain and the cold,
I would be happy.
He had a very gentle gaze.
He came from I don't know where.
Where do you come from? What's your name?
The ship is my home.
The sea is my village.
My name, no one will know.
I am simply a guy
Eager to work
And if my heart is too heavy,
So give me a little love,
Hope for caresses.
And I, a girl with a jaded heart,
I felt, under his kisses,
A burning drunkenness.
He had a very gentle gaze
He came from I don't know where.
Simply, without sweet talk,
I loved my new lover,
My husband of an hour.
Like many unfortunate people,
He thought he could read in my eyes
The woman over whom one weeps
And, foolishly, I hoped
That in the morning, he would say to me
Follow me, I'll take you away.
I would have said yes, I can feel it,
But he fled, leaving me
Riveted to my chain.
He had a very gentle gaze.
He came from I don't know where.
I dreamed of the stranger
And, my heart all disturbed
By cigarettes,
By alcohol and the blues,
His memory every night
Has turned my head
But they say that, near the port,
They fished out the body
Of a sailor
Who, abandoned by love,
Found solace only in
The caressing sea.
He had a very gentle gaze.
He was leaving I don't know where
