Lyrics & Translation

[English] You know, I have never been as happy as I was that morning
We walked on a beach a bit like this one
It was autumn, an autumn with beautiful weather
A season that only exists in the North of America
There they call it Indian summer
But it was simply ours
With your long dress
You looked like a watercolor by Marie Laurencin
And I remember
I remember very well what I told you that morning
A year ago, a century ago, an eternity ago
We'll go wherever you want, whenever you want
And we will love each other again, when love is dead
All of life will be like that morning
In the colors of Indian summer

Today I am very far from that autumn morning
But it's as if I were there
I think of you
Where are you
What are you doing
Do I still exist for you
I watch this wave that will never reach the moon
You see, like it, I go back
Like it, I lie down on the sand and I remember
I remember the high tides
The sun and the happiness that passed over the sea
An eternity ago, a century ago, a year ago

We'll go wherever you want, whenever you want
And we will love each other again, when love is dead
All of life will be like that morning
In the colors of Indian summer

We'll go wherever you want, whenever you want
And we will love each other again, when love is dead
All of life will be like that morning
