Le soleil a déserté notre village
The sun has deserted our village
Et la neige est venue recouvrir nos toits
And the snow has come to cover our roofs
Toi tu es partie pour suivre un vagabond volage
You left to follow a fickle wanderer
Mon amour au printemps tu reviendras
My love, in spring, you will return
Tu avais déjà cousu ta robe blanche
You had already sewn your white dress
Jour et nuit filait l'aiguille entre tes doigts
Day and night, the needle threaded between your fingers
Elle attend ton corps comme j'attends mon jour de chance
She waits for your body like I wait for my lucky day
Mon amour au printemps tu reviendras
My love, in spring, you will return
Je t'attends il n'y a que toi dans mon âme
I'm waiting for you; there's only you in my soul
Priant Dieu car je suis sûr qu'il m'entendra
Praying to God, for I'm sure He will hear me
Je ne pleure plus, j'ai déjà tant versé de larmes
I no longer cry, I've already shed so many tears
Mon amour au printemps tu reviendras
My love, in spring you will come back
Tu viendras là où les souvenirs t'appellent
You will come where memories call you
Tu viendras lorsque l'autre te quittera
You will come when the other leaves you
Pour chercher l'oubli contre mon coeur toujours fidèle
To seek forgetfulness against my ever-faithful heart
Mon amour au printemps tu reviendras
My love, in spring you will come back
Je saurai changer ta vie parce que je t'aime
I will know how to change your life because I love you
Je réchaufferai ton coeur qui aura froid
I will warm your heart which will be cold
Puis l'oubli viendra et nous serons heureux quand même
Then forgetfulness will come and we will be happy anyway
Mon amour au printemps tu reviendras
My love, in spring you will come back
Mais si tu ne devais plus franchir ma porte
But if you should never cross my door again
Je le sais mon coeur, je ne survivrai pas
I know it, my heart, I won't survive
Et l'été prochain je veux qu'en terre l'on me porte
And next summer I want to be carried into the ground
Mon amour si au printemps tu ne viens pas
My love, if you don't come in spring
Je me mêlerai aux cendres de nos amours mortes
I will mingle with the ashes of our dead loves
Mais au printemps je sais que tu reviendras
But in spring, I know that you will return
Mon amour au printemps tu reviendras
My love, in spring you will return
