J'attendais [English translation]

And I listened to the fountains' running water for a long time

And I listenedd to the wind singing endlessly

Soothing and peacefull waves from as far as I can remember

Childhood is a huge ocean

And I dreamed long years, long indolence

When nothing happens but nothing is forgotten

I was serene on my way without knowing the least fire from an absence

It was only when I met you that I knew, I understood

I was waiting, I was waiting

I was waiting for your gaze to explain at last

The reasons for those goobyes

Along this long way

I was waiting, I was waiting

Your body's country, the touch of your hands

My sweet compass, my North

The direction of my tomorrows

And I approached troubles, shores, teenagers

The doubts, games, bad currents

I remember the bloody blows, the musics and the words from France

Past lovers

There are a lot of lives being fed studies or science

Fates made of adventures, records or money

Lives of writting ang travel or dreams of power

I did think about it from time to time,

While listening to the wind

I was waiting, I was waiting

I was waiting for your gaze to explain at last

The reasons for those goobyes

Along this long way

I was waiting, I was waiting

I was waiting for your love

Your lovely, your beautiful love

I was waiting for it to live at last

By giving mine back

I was waiting
