J'attendrai [English translation]

I will wait

Days and nights, I will always wait for

Your return

I will wait for

Because the bird that flies away comes back to find oversight

In its nest

Time passes and flies by

Beating sadly

In my heavier heart

Even though, I will wait for

Your return

Flowers are fading

The fire becomes extinct

A shadow is slipping

In the garden

The clock jingles

With weary tones

I think I'm hearing your footsteps.

The wind is bringing me

Far sounds.

I watch my door

And listen in vain

Alas, there is nothing left

Nothing more comes.

I will wait

Days and nights, I will always wait for

Your return

I will wait for

Because the bird that flies away comes back to find oversight

In its nest

Time passes and flies by

Beating sadly

In my heavier heart

Even though, I will wait for

Your return

Come back quickly

The days are cold

And without end.

The nights without you

When we leave

We forget everything

But coming back is so sweet

If my sadness

Can move you

With tenderness

Come back one night

And in your arms

Everything will rise again.

Time passes and flies by

Beating sadly

In my heavier heart

Even though, I will wait for

Your return
