Ce soir je t’attendais [English translation]

The wind could have shaken the branches,

In the street, shutters are shut,

On a white tablecloth, a few roses are leaning

Over cutlery for two.

Your favorite melody

Is laying on the piano's edge.

Everything's ready, I hope, I don't have anything left to do

But open (the door), because I hear your footsteps

But here you are, don't get that surprised look.

Because I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you

I was so sure you would come

Yes, I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you

I was right to hope for you.

We hurt each other so bad,

We separated for a few words.

It's ancient history, I know you love me

That's why I was watching out for your steps

And here I am, in front of you, opening my arms (to you)

Because I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you

I was so sure you would come

Yes, I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you

I was right to hope for you.

Because I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you

To keep you forever

Yes, I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you

This evening I was waiting for you
