Je rêve à toi
I dream of you
À mes heures perdues
In my spare moments
Hélas, à ma porte ce matin
Alas, at my door this morning
La rue est morte
The street is dead
L'hôtel est coi
The hotel is quiet
Les volets rabattus
The shutters are down
Dans la cour d'école
In the schoolyard
Un peu plus loin
A little further away
Les oiseaux se sont tus
The birds have fallen silent
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la
La, la
Je rêve à toi
I dream of you
À mes heures perdues
In my lost hours
Si j'en crois la poste ce matin
If I believe the post this morning
Tu ne reviendras plus
You won't be coming back
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
