Je t'imagine seul ce jour-là
I imagine you alone that day
En Espagne, faisait-il froid en décembre
In Spain, was it cold in December?
C'était décembre
It was December
Posté à la porte A
Posted at gate A
Bouquet de roses sous le bras
Bouquet of roses under your arm
À m'attendre, à m'attendre
Waiting for me, waiting for me
Combien d'heures as-tu attendu
How many hours did you wait?
D'ailleurs, est-ce que tu es venu
By the way, did you come?
Quand j'y pense
When I think of it
Car oui, j'y pense
For yes, I do think of it
Si ce jour-là j'étais descendue
If that day I had come down
De l'avion, aurait-on eu notre chance
From the plane, would we have had our chance?
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Ce que ça fait de t'aimer à Barcelone
What it feels like to love you in Barcelona
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Ce que ça fait de t'aimer en espagnol
What it feels like to love you in Spanish
On ne s'était vu que quelques fois
We had only seen each other a few times
Nos langues ne s'accordaient même pas
Our tongues didn't even agree
Mais on riait, souviens-t'en
But we laughed, remember that
Entre nous la langue des yeux
Between us the language of the eyes
Cette langue pour les cœurs amoureux
This language for loving hearts
Suffisait, et pourtant
Was enough, and yet
J'ai préféré à ce séjour
I preferred this stay
L'hiver à Paris, le cœur lourd
Winter in Paris, with a heavy heart
Ai-je eu tort
Was I wrong
J'ai du remord
I have remorse
Combien d'hommes attendent leur amour
How many men wait for their love
Espérant qu'il arrive un jour à l'aéroport
Hoping it will arrive one day at the airport
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I will never know
Ce que ça fait de t'aimer à Barcelone
What it's like to love you in Barcelona
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Ce que ça fait de t'aimer en espagnol
What it's like to love you in Spanish
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Ce que ça fait de t'aimer à Barcelone
What it's like to love you in Barcelona
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I'll never know
Ce que ça fait de t'aimer en espagnol
What it's like to love you in Spanish
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I will never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I will never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I will never know
Non, je ne saurais jamais
No, I will never know
