LES FEUILLES MORTES
English lyrics by Johnny Mercer, paroles: Jacques Prévert, musique: Joseph Kosma

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson qui nous resemble

Toi qui 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

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall...
