Je voulais te dire que je t'attends [English translation]

I shall place my heart

In some silver paper

And my phone number

Out of directory.

And all my love-songs

Will remain there, in my piano

I'll have thrown the key

Of it into water.

I shall go and see the gipsy kings

Please, sell my heart

A few sterlings.

You knew how to listen to it

So well, that my life stopped

Dead, when you left me..

I 'd like to tell you

I wait for you

And too bad

If I waste my time..

I keep waiting for you all the time

Yet I never get disheartened

As someone

Who's lost everyone

Gets to sleep near their telephone

And starts smiling when they're woken

But, in fact, that was just the sun...

Yesterday, I saw

Someone looking like you

And the street was all

Like a trembling photo.

If, one day, you pass

On the same day I have a walk

If it's really you

I can figure it all

I, looking at you

You, looking at me.

I 'd like to tell you

I wait for you

And too bad

If I waste my time..

I keep waiting for you all the time

Tonight, tomorrow, any time

As someone

Who's lost everyone

Gets to sleep near their telephone

and looks for you on waking up,

I wait all alone, in the sun.

I'd like to tell you I wait for you

If you knew how I wait for you !

I keep waiting for you all the time

When will you be there, I'm waiting

I'd like to tell you I wait for you

If you knew how I wait for you !

I keep waiting for you all the time.

I'd like to tell you I wait for you.
