Charles Aznavour - Non Je N'ai Rien Oublie English translation lyrics

Your rating:

No, I haven't forgotten a thing

I would've never thought we'd meet again
Chance is strange, it causes things
And fate that's always in a hurry, a moment takes a pause
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
I can't help smiling, only by looking at you.
If the months, the years often leave their mark on beings,
You, you haven't changed at all, only your hairstyle maybe.
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
Married? Me? Come on, I have no such desire
I love my freedom, and then, between you and me
I haven't met the woman of my life
But let's go for a drink, and let's talk about you.
What have you been up to? Are you rich and content?
You live alone in Paris? And that marriage..
Between us, your parents must've died of fury.
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
Who could've told me that one day, with no interference,
Fate would bring us suddenly face to face?
I thought everything dies along with the time that passes
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
I don't really know what to say, nor where to start
Memories abound, invade my mind
My past is coming back from the bottom of it's defeat
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
At the age when I was wearing my heart on my sleeve,
Your father, having different ambitions for you,
Broke our love, made our tears gush out
For a groom chosen by his standards
I wanted to see you again but you were cloistered
I wrote to you hundreds of times, but always to no reply
It took me long before I gave up
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
Time flies and the caffe is soon closing
Come, I'll walk you through the dead streets
Like in the times of kisses stolen in your doorway
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
Every season was our love season
And we were not afraid of winter, nor of autumn
It's always spring when we reminisce our twenties
No, I haven't forgotten a thing.
It was good to feel again your presence
I feel differently, a bit lighter
One often needs a dive into adolescence
It's gentle coming back to the sources of the past
I would want, if you do too, without feeling forced,
To see you again, well, if it's possible.
If you feel like it and you're available
If you haven't forgotten a thing
Like me, who hasn't forgotten a thing.

Non Je N'ai Rien Oublie

Je n`aurais jamais cru qu`on se rencontrerait
Le hasard est curieux, il provoque les choses
Et le destin pressé un instant prend la pause
Non je n`ai rien oublié
Je souris malgré moi, rien qu`à te regarder
Si les mois, les années marquent souvent les êtres
Toi, tu n`as pas changé, la coiffure peut-être
Non je n`ai rien oublié
Marié, moi ? allons donc, je n`en ai nulle envie
J`aime ma liberté, et puis, de toi à moi
Je n`ai pas rencontré la femme de ma vie
Mais allons prendre un verre, et parle-moi de toi
Qu`as-tu fait de tes jours ? es-tu riche et comblée ?
Tu vis seule à Paris? mais alors ce mariage ?
Entre nous, tes parents ont dû crever de rage
Non je n`ai rien oublié
Qui m`aurait dit qu`un jour sans l`avoir provoqué
Le destin tout à coup nous mettrait face à face
Je croyais que tout meurt avec le temps qui passe
Non je n`ai rien oublié
Je ne sais trop que dire, ni par où commencer
Les souvenirs foisonnent, envahissent ma tête
Et le passé revient du fond de sa défaite
Non je n`ai rien oublié, rien oublié
A l`age où je portais mon amour pour toute arme
Ton père ayant pour toi bien d`autres ambitions
A brisé notre amour et fait jaillir nos larmes
Pour un mari choisi sur sa situation
J`ai voulu te revoir mais tu étais cloîtrée
Je t`ai écrit cent fois, mais toujours sans réponse
Cela m`a pris longtemps avant que je renonce
Non je n`ai rien oublié
L`heure court et déjà le café va fermer
Viens je te raccompagne à travers les rues mortes
Comme au temps des baisers qu`on volait sous ta porte
Non je n`ai rien oublié
Chaque saison était notre saison d`aimer
Et nous ne redoutions ni l`hiver ni l`automne
C`est toujours le printemps quand nos vingt ans résonnent
Non je n`ai rien oublié, rien oublié
Cela m`a fait du bien de sentir ta présence
Je me sens différent, comme un peu plus léger
On a souvent besoin d`un bain d`adolescence
C`est doux de revenir aux sources du passé
Je voudrais, si tu veux, sans vouloir te forcer
Te revoir à nouveau, enfin... si c`est possible
Si tu en as envie, si tu es disponible
Si tu n`as rien oublié
Comme moi qui n`ai rien oublié
