Quand on s’aimait [English translation]

When we loved as we once loved, my love—

from month of May to month of May, every day.

Our hearts took all the chances, relishing every taste

of the ripe fruits of our twenty years —now that I think of it.

We could have met again—just now—

and begun to love anew as before—

when your youth in my arms—was already crying—

but you—you did not know that.

When we loved as we once loved, my love—

from month of May to month of May, every day.

It was like a Sunday that will never end—

like a springtime amidst bending lilacs.

When will the month of May come back for us, my love?

I know I will return to you evermore—

and in the sunshine discover again that I love you—

I will love you as we once loved.

I will love you as we once loved.
