Notre Plus Beau Visage
Our Most Beautiful Face
C'était un matin de Décembre,
It was a December morning,
Ta voix au fond d'un teléphone:
Your voice on the other end of the phone:
" Les dauphins tournent autour de moi,
"Dolphins swim around me,
C'est drôle ils ne m'approchent pas,
It's funny they don't come near,
Qu'est ce que tu crois? "
What do you think?"
Ce que je crois je n'ose le dire
What I think I dare not say
Mes yeux humides retiennent un rire.
My teary eyes hold back a laugh.
Mon coeur se noie en un instant,
My heart drowns in an instant,
Je regarde l'appartemment, en souriant.
I look at the apartment, smiling.
C'était vrai, enfin vrai,
It was true, finally true,
Partir pour le plus grand de nos voyages,
To leave for the greatest of our journeys,
Et s'offrir Notre Plus Beau Visage.
And to gift ourselves Our Most Beautiful Face.
Ce jour où la vie parlée mieux que tout.
That day when life spoke better than anything.
C'était vrai tellement vrai, ce matin où l'on partait pour ailleurs,
It was true, so true, that morning when we left for somewhere else,
Le monde venait de changer de couleur,
The world had just changed its color,
Quant déjà des sourires flottés partout.
As smiles were already floating everywhere.
J'attend devant l'aéroport,
I'm waiting in front of the airport,
Je te vois dans la foule qui sort.
I see you in the crowd streaming out.
Tes yeux qui cherchent sont plus les même.
Your searching eyes are no longer the same.
Si tu savais combien je t'aime, combien je t'aime.
If you only knew how much I love you, how much I love you.
Tu as serré ma main sur ton ventre, sous la lune déjà impatiente.
You held my hand on your belly, under the already impatient moon.
On s'est regardé un long moment, comme si on savait depuis longtemps, tellement longtemps
We stared at each other for a long time, as if we had known for a long time, so long.
C'était vrai, enfin vrai,
It was true, finally true,
Partir pour le plus grand de nos voyage,
To depart for the greatest of our journeys,
Et s'offrir Notre Plus Beau Visage.
And to offer each other our most beautiful face.
Ce jour où la vie parlée mieux que tout.
The day when life spoke better than anything.
C'était vrai, tellement vrai
It was true, so true.
Alors tu es sortie de l'eau toute pâle,
Then you emerged from the water so pale,
Avec dans les yeux la force d'une étoile,
With in your eyes the strength of a star,
Ce jour où la vie parlée mieux que tout
That day when life spoke better than anything else
C'était vrai,
It was true,
Le monde allait changer de couleur,
The world was about to change its colors,
Déjà des sourires flottés partout.
Smiles were already floating everywhere.
C'était vrai,
It was true,
Et s'offrir Notre Plus Beau Visage, ce jour où la vie parlera mieux que tout.
And to present Our Most Beautiful Face, that day when life will speak better than anything else.
