Rendez-vous d'automne [English translation]

As the clouds roll away

On the grey-blue sea,

Our love is in a storm

And my heart is upside down.

All that life gives us,

I have lost it today

By this autumn rendezvous

When you never came

I owe to your forgetfulness,

This tear on my cheek.

It's nothing else but some rain

And the wind will blow it all away.

What path could I take

To detach myself from you?

Who didn't know how to understand me

When you were near me?

But while swirls

The tiniest of my regrets,

All the leaves shiver

And fly away forever.

I owe to your forgetfulness

This tear on my cheek.

It's nothing else but some rain.

And the wind will blow it all away.

But the more time separates us,

The more it leaves me thinking

That there's nothing left of our story

But barely enough to cry for.

• Artist:Françoise Hardy
