Réveillée par la lumière
D’une après-midi d’hiver
Je n’arrive pas à oublier
La chanson que tu fredonnais
Oh j’aimerais tant changer d’air
Avec toi partir à la mer

Je suis à l’ombre d’un palmier
Et dans l’air doux de l’été je sens mon cœur chavirer

Si tu reviens me chercher, j’aimerais bien t’amener
Sur les vagues dériver

Et je sais que bientôt l’
été ramènera nos baisers
Je suis à l’ombre d’un palmier
Et dans l’air doux de l’été je sens mon cœur chavirer

Si tu reviens me chercher, j’aimerais bien t’emmener
Sur les vagues dériver

Sur la plage je t’attendrai et jusqu’au large je nagerai
Sous la lune
La nuit sera comme un secret et les Etoiles l’éternité
Nous arrêter

Je suis à l’ombre d’un palmier
Et dans l’air doux de l’été je sens mon cœur chavirer

Si tu reviens me chercher, j’aimerais bien t’amener
Sur les vagues dériver



English translation :

ONE
SUMMER EVENING
Awakened by the light
One winter afternoon
I cannot forget
The song you
were
humming
Oh, I'd
so much
like
a
change
of
air
Go with you to the sea

I am in the shade of a palm tree
And in the sweet air of summer,
I feel my heart capsize

If you come back to get me, I'd like to take you
drifting
on the
waves

And I know that soon summer will bring our kisses back
I am in the shade of a palm tree
And in the sweet air of summer,
I feel my heart capsize

If you come back to get me, I'd like to take you
drifting
on the
waves

On the beach,
I will wait for you and I will swim
out to sea
Beneath
the moon
The night will be as a
secret and the stars eternity

I am in the shade of a palm tree
And in the sweet air of summer,
I feel my heart capsize

If you come back to get me, I'd like to take you
drifting
on the
waves

Life’s become so fragile
now that I care
But I guess that means that I’m
Getting somewhere
Remember the time
Laying in your bedWhen you told me that you loved me
And you stroked my head

And I stared out the open window
I’d even told you
That one night howWords don’t mean a thing
But it’s alright
Cause every time
I open my mouth
And I wanna tell you something
But something else comes out

But do you know that I need you nowI’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how
So much frustration in my
Untidy roomThat you thoughtfully went andGot me a broom
But inside my room
Is a messy mind that isTangled and twisted
And untied

You know that I’m not too organisedI’m trying to be but I don’t have the time
The cement in my headWas making me sinkBut you pulled me up
and it hurts a little less to think
So life’s a little fragile
But I guess it always isWhen you’ve got some sort of reasonThat makes you wanna live
But will you share a bit of the weightI’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight
