Elle

(Eddy Marnay / Paul Baillargeon)

[She]

Elle
Avait dix-huit ans
Les cheveux au vent
La ligne
D'un cygne
Qui depliait ses...

(She
was eighteen years old
Hair in the wind
The line
Of a swan
Who's unfolding her (wings))

Elle
Avait les accents
D'un oiseau chantant
Et tous les musiciens
Se retournaient sur...

(She
Had the lines
Of a singing bird
And all musicians
Were turning to (her))

Elle
Avait tout l'eclat
De ce siecle-la
Ou la valse
Etait reine
Ou l'amour etait roi
Dans un ciel
De dentelles
Irre...

(She
Had all the shinning
Of that century
Where the waltz
Was queen
Where love was king
In a sky
Of lace
Unreal)

Elle
Promenait ses mains
Sur un clavecin
Et Chopin la trouvait
B...elle
N'avait qu'a sourire
Pour le faire ecrire
Ecoutez
Les preludes
Qu'il composait pour elle

(She
Was walking her hands
On a harpsichord
And Chopin was considering her
Beautiful
Only had to smile
To make him write
Listen to
The preludes
He was composing for her)

Elle
J'ai tant reve d'elle
Parle avec elle
Que souvent
Je me prends
Pour elle

(She
I so much dreamed about her
Spoke with her
That often
I take myself
For her)

Elle
Est mon ideal
La plus grande etoile
Et je veux
Ressembler
A son portrait fidele
Il n'y a qu'elle
Et c'est elle
Mon mod...

(She
Is my ideal
The biggest star
And I want
To look like
Her accurate portrait
The was only her
And it's her
My model)

Elle
Avait dix-huit ans
Les cheveux au vent
La magie
Des folies
Que l'on faisait pour elle
C'etait la plus belle
Je voudrais etre...elle!

(She
Was eighteen years old
Hair in the wind
The magic
Of the irrational things
They were doing for her
She was the most beautiful
I would like to be ...her)

"En Amour"

D'ou je suis je vois des anges et des tourterelles
Si l'on m'avait dit qu'un jour je vivrais dans le ciel
J'ai fait la rencontre d'un garcon c'est la grande nouvelle
Et je plane je plane je plane et je suis

From where I am I see angels and turtledoves
If I would have been told that someday I would live in the sky
I have met a guy it's the big news
And I fly I fly I fly and I am
En amour
Comme on dit du cote de chez nous
J'ai envie de partir avec lui n'importe ou
En amour
Comme on va de pays en pays
Sur le dos d'un nuage fou
En amour
Comme en France en boheme ou en Chine
On a plein de forets de jardins devant nous
En amour
Comme dans un avion qui dessine
Un grand coeur tout autour de nous

In love
Like we say at home
I long to leave with him anywhere
In love
Like we go from country to country
On a wild cloud
In love
Like in France as a bohemian or in China
We have many forests gardens in front of us
In love
Like an airplane that draws
A huge heart all around us
Je decouvre des planetes et des horizons
Des etoiles inconnues qui ont toutes le nom
De celui partage avec moi sa route et ses chansons
Et je plane je plane je plane et je suis

I discover planets and skylines
And unknown stars that all have the name
Of the one sharing with me his pathway and his songs
And I fly I fly I fly and I am
En amour
Comme on dit du cote de chez nous
J'ai envie de partir avec lui n'importe ou
En amour
Comme on va de pays en pays
Sur le dos d'un nuage fou
En amour
Comme en France en boheme ou en Chine
On a plein de forets de jardins devant nous
En amour
Avec le monde entier qui dessine
Un grand coeur tout autour de nous
Tout autour de nous

In love
Like we say at home
I long to leave with him anywhere
In love
Like we go from country to country
On a wild cloud
In love
Like in France as a bohemian or in China
We have many forests gardens in front of us
In love
With all the world that draws
A huge heart all around us
All around us
En amour
Comme on dit du cote de chez nous
J'ai envie de partir avec lui n'importe ou
En amour
Comme on va de pays en pays
Sur le dos d'un nuage fou
En amour
Comme en France en boheme ou en Chine
On a plein de forets de jardins devant nous

In love
Like we say at home
I long to leave with him anywhere
In love
Like we go from country to country
On a wild cloud
In love
Like in France as a bohemian or in China
We have many forests gardens in front of us

"En Attendant Ses Pas"

En attendant ses pas, je mets la musique en sourdine, tout bas
Trop bete, on ne sait pas, s'il sonnait
Si je n'entendais pas cette fois
En attendant ses pas ce matin-la

While waiting his steps, I put music on mute, very low
Too bad, we don't know, in case he'd ring
If I would not hear it that time
While waiting his steps that morning
Un soir? Un matin? Un hiver, une aube
Un printemps qu'il choisira
Rien, je n'en sais rien, je mets des lumieres
Les nuits au bord des chemins

A night? A morning? A Winter, a dawn
A Spring he will chose
Nothing, I know nothing of it, I put on some lights
Nights along the roads
En attendant ses bras je peins des fleurs aux portes
Il aimera ca
En attendant le doux temps de ses bras

While waiting his arms I draw flowers on doors
He will like that
While waiting the nice weather of his arms
Et je prends soin de moi, rouge a mes levres, a mes joues
Pour qu'il ne voit pas
Quand trop pale parfois, ne surtout pas
Qu'il me surprenne comme ca

And I take care of myself, red on my lips, on my cheeks
So he will not see
When too pale sometimes, he should certainly not
Surpise me like this
Il y a de l'eau fraiche et du vin
Je ne sais pas ce qu'il choisira
Je ne sais s'il est blond, s'il est brun
Je ne sais s'il est grand ou pas
Mais en entendant sa voix je saurai
Que tous ses mots, tous seront pour moi
En attendant le doux temps de ses bras

There is some fresh water and some wine
I don't know which he will chose
I don't know if he is blond, if he is brown
I don't know if he is tall or not
But when hearing his voice, I will know
That all his words, all will be for me
While waiting the nice weather of his arms
J'y pense tout le temps a cet instant, oh quand on se reconnaitra
Je lui dirai c'etait bien long, non, je ne lui dirai surement pas
En attendant ses pas, je vis, je reve et je respire pour ca
En attendant juste un sens a tout ca

I'm always thinking about this moment, oh when we will recognize each other
I will tell him it was very long, no, I will certainly not tell him
While waiting his steps, I'm living, I'm dreaming and I'm breathing for that
While waiting just a meaning to all that
Un soir? Un matin? Un hiver, une aube
Un printemps qu'il choisira
Rien, je n'en sais rien, je mets des lumieres
Les nuits au bord des chemins

A night? A morning? A Winter, a dawn
A Spring he will chose
Nothing, I know nothing of it, I put on some lights
Nights along the roads
En attendant ses bras je peins des fleurs aux portes
Il aimera ca

While waiting his arms I'm drawing flowers on doors
He will like that
En attendant juste un sens a tout ca, a tout ca

While waiting a meaning to all that, to all that

Et Puis Un Jour

(Eddy Marnay / Christian Loigerot, Thierry Geoffroy)

[And Then One Day]

Et puis un jour on s'aime
Et c'est un autre monde
Le decor est le meme
Mais on ne voit plus d'ombre
Et puis un jour on chante
Bien plus fort que jamais
A faire pleurer les anges
A calmer les forets
On a des cathedrales
Dans le creux de la main
On ramasse une etoile
On l'offre a son voisin
On voit des champs de fleurs
S'ouvrir avec les mots qu'on prononce

(And then one day we love each other
And it's another world
The scenery is the same
But we no longer see shadows
And then one day we sing
Much louder than before
Enough to make angels cry
Enough to calm down the forests
We have cathedrals
In the palms of our hands
We grab a star
We offer it to our neighbour
We see fields of flowers
Open with words we say)

Et puis un jour on marche
En regardant plus haut
Le ciel devient plus large
Et le soleil plus chaud
On apercoit les autres
Qu'on n'avait jamais vus
Leur histoire est la notre
On ne le savait plus
Les jours sont magnifiques
Le temps n'a pas de fin
On sait que Dieu existe
On le decouvre enfin

(And then one day we walk
Looking higher
The sky becomes larger
And the sun hotter
We see the others
We never saw before
Their story is ours
We no longer knew
The days are wonderful
Time has no end
We know that God exists
We finally discover it)

Alors... on est bien
Alors... on est bien

(Then... we feel good
Then... we feel good)

"Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une (Je Serais Celle-la)"

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour jouer son bonheur
Et miser sa fortune
Sur le rouge du coeur

Pour accepter les larmes
Accepter nuit et jour
De se livrer sans armes
Aux griffes de l'amour

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
À n'être pas blasée
Et pleurer pour des prûnes
Sur un vieux canapé

Oui, s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour l'amour cinéma
Oui, s'il en restait qu'une
Je serais celle-là

Et, s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour aller bravement
Rêver au clair de lune
Au bras de son amant

Et pour avoir l'audace
De confier en été
À l'étoile qui passe
Des voeux d'éternité

S'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour bêtement tracer
Sur le sable des dunes
Deux coeurs entrelacés

Oui, s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour l'amour grand format
Oui, s'il n'en restait qu'une
Je serais celle là

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour oser affimer
Qu'il n'est pire infortune
Que de ne pas aimer

Te suivre au bout du monde
Sans questions sans contrat
Je serais celle-là

Et S'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour envier le manège
Où les uns et les unes
Depuis toujours se piègent

Pour envier leurs folies
Leurs excès, leurs tracas
Je serais celle-là
Je serais celle-là

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour chercher sans pudeur
Une épaule opportune
Où cacher son bonheur

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour l'amour à tout va
Oui, s'il n'en restait qu'une
Je serais celle-là

"Everybody's Talking My Baby Down"

People are sayin'
That boy is gonna hurt you
His kind of love is not for real
He's only playin'
Foolin' with your heart girl
But I know how he makes me feel
And I don't need any other proof
They just don't understand
They don't know the truth

Momma says he's bad for me
Poppa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And all my friends doubt him
Tell me I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down

He's not like the others
Nobody wants to see it
They don't even wanna try
Judge a book by its cover
And you'll never know the story
There's so much more than meets the eye
Oh and I know his heart is true
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to do

[Chorus]
My sisters and my brothers
Tell me I should find another
Everybody's talkin' my baby down

Oh but they can't feel his touch
They can't feel his kiss
They don't know what it's like to be loved like this
I don't care about their point of view
'Cause it's understood
When the love is good
Nothin' else is gonna do

[Chorus]

No they don't know what he's all about
Everybody's just wanna talk my baby down
No they can't see that his heart is gold
Everybody wanna treat my baby so cold, so cold

[Chorus]

"Eyes On Me"

I know that once in love
You don't think of the devil who's inside
And maybe it will come one day
When you'll feel safe and I won't have the time

You hear what you wanna hear
Play it once I could disappear
Some rules to the game of me
Get it right for both of us

Just say what you wanna say
I've got it to give away
We both want to make it last
So keep your eyes on me
Your eyes on me

It's not an illusion
That you're the one
And I have fallen deep
I said it from the start
When we're apart
You must only think of me

Temptation is all around
Take good care of what you found
That's why when I turn around
You better keep
You better keep your eyes on me
No matter what you think I need
No matter what you once believed
If you're mine

So you better say

No matter what you think of me
No it doesn't really matter what you once believed
I wanna be the air you breathe
Yeah you better be everything you said you'd be

I'm gonna be your only one

We really can't go on
No matter what you think of me
You better keep your eyes on me

You say that you want me
Open up your heart
Even if it's hard
Say that you need me
Then let him know
Baby don't put on a show

You say that you need me
Tell him how you feel
Let him know it's real
And if you love me
Never turn your back
Gonna keep my eyes on there

Temptation is all around
Take good care of what you found
That's why when I turn around
You better keep
You better keep your eyes on me
No matter what you think I need
No matter what you once believed
If you're mine

So you better say

No matter what you think of me
No it doesn't really matter what you once believed
I wanna be the air you breathe
Yeah you better be everything you said you'd be

I'm gonna be your only one
We really can't go on
No matter what you think of me
You better keep your eyes on me
Your eyes on me
Your eyes on me

"Fade Away"

I learned from the past
Not everything lasts
I understand that now
Everything changed
When you walked away
But I'll survive somehow
Though I have regrets
I'll learn to forget
And just keep moving on
Cause when love is gone
You have to be strong
Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal
Your heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
Just fade away
Away

So I try to smile
But after a while
The memories come back
But I won't give in
Cause I know that then
My heart will fade to black

And this time I learned
That love can burn
There's no right or wrong

I've got to be strong

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal
Your heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
Just fade away
Away

I know that one day I'll find that feeling again
But until I do I'll do fine by myself

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal
Your heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
You know that

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal
Your heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
So let the clouds
That bring you down
Just fade away
Away

Fais Ce Que Tu Voudras

(Eddy Marnay / Rene Grignon)

[Do Whatever You Will Want To]

Si tu t'en vas
Tout sera vieux
Et la terre vivra sans nous

(If you leave
All will be old
And the earth will live without us)

Je crois en toi
Et j'aimerais mieux
Qu'elle tourne avec nous

(I believe in you
And I would prefer
That it rotates with us)

Fais ce que tu voudras
Fais ce que tu veux
Mais restes ici
Fais le chaud et le froid
Et si tu me laisses un peu de pluie
J'ai mon amour qui fait soleil

(Do whatever you will want to
Do whatever you want
But stay here
Do the warmth and the cold
And if you leave me a bit of rain
I have my love that makes sun)

Je dors avec toi
Meme si tu n'es pas la
Tu es mon reve unique

(I sleep with you
Even if you're not here
You are my only dream)

Mon seul pays
Et mon seul ami
Et mon amour en musique

(My only country
And my only friend
And my love in music)

Fais ce que tu voudras
Fais ce que tu veux
Mais restes ici
Fais le chaud et le froid
Et si tu me laisses un peu de pluie
J'ai mon amour qui fait soleil

(Do whatever you will want to
Do whatever you want
But stay here
Do the warmth and the cold
And if you leave me a bit of rain
I have my love that makes sun)

S'il faut se battre
Je me battrai aussi
Je jouerai ma vie
Ma derniere carte pour te garder

(If we have to wrestle
I will fight too
I will play my life
My last card to keep you)

Fais ce que tu voudras
Fais ce que tu veux
Mais restes ici
Fais ton jouet de moi
Et si tu me laisses un peu de pluie
Mon amour changera mes nuits en soleil

(Do whatever you will want to
Do whatever you want
But stay here
Make you toy out of me
And if you leave me a bit of rain
My love will change my nights in sun)

"Faith"

Don't be afraid to feel this way
Gonna make you understand
It's not about you, cause I am the fool
Building castles in the sand

If I am crazy, just don't care
It doesn't mean I don't want you near,
This is the story about me and you
And it's called...

Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith !
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!

So many times and so many ways
I didn't know just where to go,
You gave me a sign and opened my eyes
That's the reason why I know

That you are different, you're still here
I guess you figured me out right then
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called...

Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith ! have faith !

So don't be afraid... to feel this way...
Just hear me out!
Stay...

...and that's called...

Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
It's not too late
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith... In me!

Oh yeah!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
