Elle descendait d'un train du sud au nord
She was getting off a train from south to north
Elle n'avait jamais quitte son ile encore
She had never left her island yet
La Sicile etait son rivage
Sicily was her shore
Et la famille, son paysage
And family, her landscape
La mer et le volcan, ses seuls tresors
The sea and the volcano, her only treasures
Il l'attendait dans le froid, seul sur le quai
He was waiting for her in the cold, alone on the platform
Comme un ami, un frère, pour l'escorter
Like a friend, a brother, to escort her
Meme s'il ne parlait pas sa langue
Even if he didn't speak her language
Ils se comprenaient comme on tremble
They understood each other like one trembles
Quand on sait que le destin vient de passer
When you know that fate has just passed
C'est une belle histoire
It's a beautiful story
Nee d'un roman rose et noir
Born from a pink and black novel
Tout les separe
Everything separates them
Meme le hasard
Even fate
Ils regardaient la vie comme un chemin
They saw life as a path
Où l'on ne se perd qu'en se lachant la main
Where you only get lost by letting go of each other's hands
Bien que les nuits aient ete plus froides
Although the nights have been colder
Que leus chaleureuses engueulades
Than their warm arguments
Ce quit les unit eloignait leur chagrin
What unites them drives their sorrow away
C'est une belle histoire
It's a beautiful story
Nee d'un roman rose et noir
Born from a pink and black novel
Tout les separe
Everything separates us
Meme le hasard
Even fate
Ma plus belle histoire
My most beautiful story
Je suis nee dans leurs regards
I was born in their gazes
Rempli d'espoir
Filled with hope
Speranza
Hope
