Jardin d'hiver [English translation]

I would like some green sun,

laces and teapots,

and seaside pictures

in my winter garden.

I would like the kind of light

you get in New England.

I want a change of atmosphere

in my winter garden.

Your flower dress under the november rain,

my fluttering hands, I can't wait to see him.

Years go by, our tender age is so far away.

No one can hear us.

I would like Fred Astaire tunes,

to see a Latécoère1 again.

I would like you to like me always,

in my winter garden.

I want to have breakfast on the ground,

like on the sea front2,

to kiss you with eyes wide open

in my winter garden.

Your flower dress under the november rain,

my fluttering hands, I can't wait to see him.

Years go by, our tender age is so far away.

No one can hear us.
