Le train du soir - Hélène

Ça fait bien longtemps tu sais

que tu es parti

chez nous tout a bien changé

Tu serais surpris

Ils ont construit l’autoroute

C’est plus calme mais tu t’en doute

Il n’y a plus grand monde qui vienne ici

Mais quand le train du soir

Disparaît dans le noir

Je n’y peux rien mais chaque fois

je pense à toi

Je revois ton regard le quai de cette gare

Quant tu m’as dit ne t’en fais pas je reviendrai

Tu te souviens du vieil arbre

où l’on se cachait

le mois dernier un orage

L’a déraciné

Un à un nos souvenirs

Disparaissent comme pour me dire

Que le temps qui est sans pitié

Mais quand le train du soir

Disparaît dans le noir

Je n’y peux rien mais chaque fois

je pense à toi

Je revois ton regard le quai de cette gare

Quant tu m’as dit ne t’en fais pas je reviendrai

Ça fait bien longtemps tu sais

Que tu es parti

Et je dois te l’avouer

Souvent je m’ennuie

J’ai beau guetter tes volets

Ils restent toujours fermés

J’ai peur sur mon cœur se ferme aussi

Mais quand le train du soir

Disparaît dans le noir

Je n’y peux rien mais chaque fois

je pense à toi

Je revois ton regard le quai de cette gare

Quant tu m’as dit ne t’en fais pas je reviendrai

Ad lib…

English Translation

It’s been a long time, you know,

Since you’re gone

Everything has changed here

You would be surprised

They’ve built the freeway

It’s calmer but you can imagine that

There’s not a lot of people who come here anymore

But when the evening train

Disappears into the dark

I can’t help it, every time

I think of you

I see your eyes et this station’s platform again

When you told me «don't worry, I’ll be back»

Do you remember the old tree

Where we used to hide

Last month a thunderstorm

Uprooted it

One by one, our memories

Vanish as if to tell me

That time is ruthless

But when the evening train

Disappears into the dark

I can’t help it, every time

I think of you

I see your eyes et this station’s platform again

When you told me «don't worry, I’ll be back»

It’s been a long time, you know,

Since you’re gone

And I’ve got to confess you

I often get bored

No matter how long I watch your shutters

They always remain closed

I’m scared my heart shuts itself too

But when the evening train

Disappears into the dark

I can’t help it, every time

I think of you

I see your eyes et this station’s platform again

When you told me «don't worry, I’ll be back»

Ad lib…

It's been a long time you know

that you are gone

everything has changed with us

you would be surprised

They built the highway

It's quieter but you can imagine

Not many people come here anymore

But when the evening train

Disappear in the dark

I can't help it but every time

I think of you

I see your gaze again at the platform of this station

When you told me don't worry I'll be back

Do you remember the old tree

where we were hiding

last month a thunderstorm

uprooted him

One by one our memories

Disappear as if to tell me

Than time that's merciless

But when the evening train

Disappear in the dark

I can't help it but every time

I think of you

I see your gaze again at the platform of this station

When you told me don't worry I'll be back

It's been a long time you know

that you are gone

And I have to tell you

I often get bored

I can watch your shutters

They are still closed

I'm scared on my heart is closing too

But when the evening train

Disappear in the dark

I can't help it but every time

I think of you

I see your gaze again at the platform of this station

When you told me don't worry I'll be back

Ad lib…
