On Se Promenait - The Pinker Tones

On Se Promenait

On s'Ã(c)tait connu

En nous promenant

Je n’ai jamais su

Son âge, ni son nom

Au clair de la lune

On se rencontrait

Il n’y en avait aucune

Qui me rendait si gai

Son petit sourire

Cachait des secrets

Elle savait mentir

Et moi pardonner

Peu de choses à se dire:

Ni du temps passé Ni de l’avenir;

Le prÃ(c)sent suffisait

On dÃ(c)ambulait

En criant nos voeux

Ils nous appelaient

Les amants du Pont Neuf

Following the Seine

I took her by the hand

Tout d’un coup un soir

Elle a disparue…

Je ne pouvais croire

De l’avoir perdue!

Je me promenais

Le regard par terre

Et le ciel mouillait

Mon prÃ(c)sent amer

Alors j’ai compris

Il Ã(c)tait temps qu’elle

Reprenne sa vie

Et puis moi la mienne

Quelques annÃ(c)es plus tard

Un jour de printemps

Elle courait en retard

PortÃ(c)e par le vent

On s’est regardé Le temps congelé Un sourire croisé Jamais je ne t’oublierais

Following the Seine

I took her by the hand

We were walking

We had known each other

As we walk

I never knew

His age, nor his name

In the moonlight

We used to meet

There were none

Who made me so happy

Her little smile

Was hiding secrets

She knew how to lie

And forgive me

Few things to say to each other:

Neither of the past Nor of the future;

The present was enough

We were strolling

Shouting our vows

They called us

The Lovers on the Bridge

Following the Seine

I take her by the hand

Suddenly one night

She disappeared…

I couldn't believe

To have lost it!

I was walking

Looking down

And the sky was wet

My bitter present

So I understood

It was about time she

Take back his life

And then me mine

A few years later

A spring day

She was running late

Carried by the wind

We looked at each other Time froze A crossed smile I'll never forget you

Following the Seine

I take her by the hand
