Plus bleu que tes yeux [English translation]

As soon as I raise my eyes,

I see the sky

And I say to myself "My God,

It's sensational

So blue"

As soon as I raise my eyes,

I see your eyes

And I say to myself "My God,

It's truly marvelous

So blue"

Bluer than the blue of your eyes,

I don't see anything better,

Even the blue of the skies,

Blonder than your golden hair,

One can't imagine,

Even the blonde of wheat,

Purer than your soft breath,

The wind, even in the month of August,

Can't be so soft,

Stronger than my love for you,

The sea, even raging,

Doesn't come close.

Bluer than the blue of your eyes,

I don't see anything better,

Even the blue of the skies.

If one day you needed to go

And leave me,

My destiny would change suddenly

From everything to nothing.

Greyer than the grey of my life,

Nothing would be greyer,

Not even a rainy sky.

Blacker than the black of my heart,

The depths of the earth

Wouldn't be as black.

Emptier than my days without you,

Any abyss without end

Wouldn't come close.

Longer than my heartbreak from love,

Even eternity

Near him would be short.

Greyer than the grey of my life,

Nothing would be greyer,

Not even a rainy sky.

I know, We are wrong to think

About tomorrows

Why complicate life

Whilst today...

Bluer than the blue of your eyes,

I don't see anything better,

Even the blue of the skies,

Blonder than your golden hair

One can't imagine,

Even the blonde of wheat.

Purer than your soft breath,

The wind, even in the month of August,

Couldn't be softer.

Stronger than my love for you,

The sea, even raging,

Doesn't come close.

Bluer than the blue of your eyes,

I can't see anything but the dreams

That your eyes bring me...
