Une femme [English translation]

Original version:

I was with some strange men then

As light as the ashes of their cigars

They gave parties at the Palace of Versailles

They were only straw castles.

And I wasted my time in that golden desert.

I was alone when I met you.

The others were burying themselves, you were alive.

You sang like a child sings.

You were as gay as an Italian

When he knows he'll have love and wine

And I, for the first time,

I felt at last:

Woman, woman, a woman with you,

Woman, woman, a woman with you,

You looked a bit like that air from before

Where white horses galloped,

Your face was serious but your smile was clear,

I walked straight to your light.

Today whatever we do

We make love,

Near you time seems so short...

Because you are a man and you are kind

And you know how to make life beautiful.

You're as happy as an Italian

When he knows he'll have love and wine.

It's always like the first time,

When I finally became

Woman, woman, a woman with you,

Woman, woman, a woman with you,

Woman, woman, a woman with you,

Woman, woman, a woman with you,

Woman, woman, a woman with you.
