Comment te dire [English translation]

When the last autumn sun fades away

It comes to warm the dead leaves still

On the last meadow saffron it abandoned itself

Before November cold is taking over

You, if you wish to understand tenderness

Give thyself like him, give thyself

But how can I tell you

But how do I teach you

Love without love is nothing anymore

Let yourself be guided

And seek to understand

And come back and hold out your hand to me

(×2)

Go and see how the parched ground

Opens to embrace the great summer rains

And when you have seen it, you'll be rich

Then you'll come back and get me

But how can I tell you

But how do I teach you

Love without love is nothing anymore

Let yourself be guided

And seek to understand

And come back and hold out your hand to me

(x3)
