La fille solitaire [English translation]

How do I make you understand?

They loved

Their time in the moon

Ever after she sometimes comes

Into the dunes to dream

And I, an underdog,

I can't understand anything

My heart is all to ashes

I wait for her to forget

I'll be waiting all my life

Because one must wait

But the lone girl

Watches the sea

The wooden house

Where she once knew

That wild card of a man

Who wasn't me

But the lone girl

Watches the sea

The lustre of the day

And I... I wait for a glance from her

I wait for hope

I'll always be waiting

Near the pier

In the heather

On the veranda

She relives the moments

Of love and the wind

That never forget

I wish you knew

Everything I do

For her to smile

For her to love me at last

For her to let go

Of her memories

How do I make you understand

That I believe to fly

Higher than I can

I have but one life

I have but one friend

I have but one thing - my love to you

But the lone girl

Watches the sea

The wooden house

Where she once knew

That wild card of a man

Who wasn't me

But the lone girl

Watches the sea

The lustre of the day

And I... I wait for a glance from her

I wait for hope

I'll always be waiting

Near the pier

In the heather

On the veranda

She relives the moments

Of love and the wind

That never forget

But the lone girl

Watches the sea

The wooden house

Where she once knew

That wild card of a man

Who wasn't me
