Dites-le-moi du bout des lèvres
Tell me softly, just at the edge of your lips
Je l'entendrai du bout du cœur
I'll hear it deeply, just at the edge of my heart
Vos cris me dérangent, je rêve
Your cries disturb me, I dream
Je rêve
I dream
Oh, dites-le-moi doucement
Oh, tell me gently
Murmurez-le-moi simplement
Whisper it simply to me
Je vous écouterais bien mieux
I would listen so much better
Sans doute
No doubt
Si vous parlez du bout des lèvres
If you speak lightly from the edge of your lips
J'entends très bien du bout du cœur
I hear very well from the edge of my heart
Et je peux continuer mon rêve
And I can keep on dreaming
Mon rêve
My dream
Que l'amour soit à mon oreille
Let love whisper in my ear
Doux comme le chant des abeilles
Sweet as the song of the bees
En été, un jour, au soleil
In summer, one day, in the sun
Au soleil
In the sun
Regardez dans le soir qui penche
Look into the evening that leans
Là-bas, ce voilier qui balance
Over there, that sailboat sways
Qu'elle est jolie, sa voile blanche
How pretty it is, its white sail
Qui danse
That dances
Je vous le dis du bout des lèvres
I tell you with the tip of my lips
Vous m'agacez du bout du cœur
You annoy me from the bottom of my heart
Vos cris me dérangent, je rêve
Your cries disturb me, I'm dreaming
Je rêve
I'm dreaming
Venez donc me parler d'amour
Come now, talk to me about love
À voix basse, dans ce contre-jour
In a low voice, in this backlight
Et faites-moi, je vous en prie
And do me this favor, I beg you
Silence
Prenons plutôt, au soir qui penche
Let's take instead, at the leaning evening
Là-bas, ce voilier qui balance
Over there, that sailboat sways
Qu'elle est jolie, sa voile blanche
How pretty she is, her white sail
Qui danse
That dances
Je vous dirai du bout des lèvres
I'll tell you with just my lips
"Je vous aime du bout du cœur"
"I love you from the depths of my heart"
Et nous pourrons vivre mon rêve
And we can live my dream
Mon rêve
My dream
Mon rêve
My dream
