Tu m'attendais - Georges Moustaki

Tu m’attendais au bord d’une forêt

Devant la mer, près d’une cheminée

Tu m’attendais, la table était dressée

On entendait la mer, les arbres frémissaient

Tu me cherchais de pays en pays

De vallée en clairière, de saison en saison

Tu m’attendais aux premiers jours de mai

À la fin de l’hiver, chaque jour de l’année

Tu me cherchais de cité en cité

De montagne en désert, de maison en maison

Tu m’attendais au bord d’une forêt

Devant la mer, près d’une cheminée

You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest

In front of the sea, near a fireplace

You were expecting me, the table was set

You could hear the sea, the trees were quivering

You were looking for me from country to country

From valley to glade, from season to season

You expected me in the first days of May

At the end of winter, every day of the year

You were looking for me from city to city

From mountain to desert, from house to house

You were waiting for me at the edge of a forest

In front of the sea, near a fireplace
