Dead Leaves (Les feuilles mortes)


Dead Leaves (Les feuilles mortes)

Jacques Prevert & Joseph Kosma, 1943

Now here’s a song that’s like us lovers,
For I loved you and you loved me.
We lived together like true lovers,
And loved each other, passionately.
But life parts all those who love each other,
So softly and so silently,
And the footprints of these parted lovers
Dissolve forever in the sea.

C’est une chanson qui nous resemble,
Toi, tu m’aimais et je t’aimais,
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire du bruit,
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.
