J'attendrai [English translation]

Flowers fade

Fire dies

Shadows lurk

In the yard

The clock weaves

Such weary sounds

I think I can hear your steps

The wind brings me

Sounds from far away

Staring at my door

I listen in vain, for you

Alas, nothing more

Nothing more comes

I will wait

All day and night, I will wait forever

For the day you return

I will wait

As a fleeing bird always seeks oblivion

In its nest

Time passes and runs

Ticking along sadly

Inside my heavy heart

And yet, I will wait

For the day you return

Come back quickly

The days are cold

And are neverending

The nights I spend without you

After we broke up

We don't forget everything

But your return will be so sweet

If my sadness

May move you

Fondly

Come back one evening

And in your arms

All will be reborn

I will wait, day and night

I will wait forever

I will wait, day and night

I will wait forever

For the day you return, I will wait [I will wait]

As a fleeing bird always

Seeks oblivion in its nest

Time passes and runs

Ticking along sadly inside my heavy heart

And yet, I will wait for the day you return
