Lyrics
TRANSLATION
J'attendrai (I will wait) I will wait day & night; I will wait forever for your return.
I will wait, like the bird who flies off, goes to seek forgetfulness, in its nest
The time goes and runs, beating sadly,
In my heavy heart--but, however I will wait for your return.
The flowers weaken, the fire dies
The shadow slides in the garden
The clock ticks with weak sounds
I think I hear your step!
The wind brings me noises from afar
Waiting impatiently by my door, I listen in vain!
Alas, more nothing--nothing more comes!
