Amour défendu [English translation]

The October wind

Was rippling the river,

The folds of my dress

Were brushing the heather,

The air was so tender

That I wanted to take

Your hand, which a ring

forbade me.

The only fault

Will be mine,

I forgot the other

And said: «I love you».

The flowers of the heath

With colours of amber

Covered everything

And my heart got lost.

Refrain:

Love of dream,

Love of autumn,

When the day breaks

It's winter that rings.

We took the world

For some seconds

But you can't live

On a forbidden love.

There was the other

There were her tears,

I amended my fault,

I dropped my weapons.

The flowers of the heath

With colours of amber

Where we have loved

Won’t see me again.

[Refrain]

We took the world

For some seconds

But you can't live

On a forbidden love. (x2)
