Georges Moustaki - Le facteur English translation lyrics

Your rating:

The postman

The young postman is dead.
He was only seventeen.
Love cannot travel anymore,
it has lost its messenger.
It's him who came every day,
arms full of my loving words.
It's him who held in his hands
the flower of love picked from your garden.
He soared into the blue sky
like a bird, free and happy at last,
and when his soul left him
a nightingale sang somewhere.
I love you just as much as I did,
but now I can't say it anymore.
He took with him
the last words I had written to you.
He will no longer walk these paths
bordered with rose and jasmine
leading to your house.
Love cannot travel anymore,
it has lost its messenger,
and my heart feels like in jail.
He went away, the teenager
who brought my joys and torments to you.
Winter killed spring,
it's all over for us now.

LE FACTEUR

Le jeune facteur est mort

Il n'avait que dix-sept ans

L'amour ne peut voyager

Il a perdu son messager

C'est lui qui venait chaque jour

Les bras chargés de tous mes mots d'amour

C'est lui qui portait dans ses mains

La fleur d'amour cueillie dans ton jardin

Il est parti dans le ciel bleu

Comme un oiseau enfin libre et heureux

Et quand son âme l'a quitté

Un rossignol quelque part a chanté

Je t'aime autant que je t'aimais

Mais je ne peux le dire désormais

Il a emporté avec lui

Les derniers mots que je t'avais écrits

Il n'ira plus sur les chemins

Fleuris de roses et de jasmins

Qui mènent jusqu'à ta maison

L'amour ne peut plus voyager

Il a perdu son messager

Et mon coeur est comme en prison...

Il est parti l'adolescent

Qui t'apportait mes joies et mes tourments

L'hiver a tué le printemps

Tout est fini pour nous deux maintenant
