Le premier pas [English translation]

The first step,

I would like her to make the first move.

I know you shouldn't do that

However, I would like

it would be her coming to me

Because you see, I don't dare.

Look for the way

To see her, to please her.

To approach her, to talk to her

And don't rush for that.

Say words of love to her,

Without knowing on the way back

Whether she will like or refuse

This first step.

The first step

I would like her to make the first move,

We can wait for each other for a long time like that

And living each one alone

During years, contemplating one another

And living each one on his own.

I would meet her

At the bottom of the stairs.

Then, like every day,

She will say "hello" to me.

Except for this time

She will take my hand

And take me to her house

Where we will make...

The first step of love

In her bed, day after day.

She will reveal her body to me,

Will give me all the remorse

For not having said earlier

The first word.

The first word

I would like her to say the first word.

At night I dream about it and it's silly!

If she would only want

to wave at me quietly.

Then I would make, I believe it,

The first move.
