Le matin nouveau [que je t'aime] [English translation]

The new morning, outside the window,

Already fills the bedroom with light.

You're still sleeping. I'd like to know

The dream that plays on your eyelids.

How I love to watch you in silence

During these first moments of the dim morning!

And reassured by the warmth of your presence...

How I love you!

There, outside, with the break of day,

The street comes to life with voices and noises.

Life starts back up after the short break,

That strange pause between day and night.

You stretch, sensing the change in atmosphere

And you open your eyes at that exact moment.

How I love that first look in my direction.

How I love you!

Around us time is already running short.

Come close to me again for a moment!

During the day, when do I get to say to you

That it is so good to live with you

And have your advice and wisdom,

To help me face up to any problem,

And to take refuge in your tenderness?

How I love you!
