Le vent peut bien secouer les branches
Sur la rue les volets sont clos
Sur une nappe blanche quelques roses se penchent
Sur un couvert dressé pour deux
La mélodie que tu préfères
Posée sur le bord du piano
Tout est prêt, je l’espère, je n’ai plus rien à faire
Que d’ouvrir, car j’entends ton pas
Mais te voilà, mais ne prends pas l’air étonné
Car je savais, et je t’attendais, ce soir je t’attendais
J’étais si sûre que tu viendrais
Oui, je savais, et je t’attendais, ce soir je t’attendais
J’avais raison de t’espérer
Nous nous sommes fait beaucoup de peine
On s’est quitté pour quelques mots
C’est de l’histoire ancienne, je sais bien que tu m’aimes
C’est pourquoi je guettais ton pas
Et me voilà, là devant toi, tendant les bras
Car je savais, et je t’attendais, ce soir je t’attendais
J’étais si sûre que tu viendrais
Oui, je savais, et je t’attendais, ce soir je t’attendais
J’avais raison de t’espérer
Oui, je savais, et je t’attendais, ce soir je t’attendais
Pour te garder à tout jamais
Oui, je savais, et je t’attendais, ce soir je t’attendais
Ce soir je t’attendais
The wind could have shaken the branches,
In the street, shutters are shut,
On a white tablecloth, a few roses are leaning
Over cutlery for two.
Your favorite melody
Is laying on the piano's edge.
Everything's ready, I hope, I don't have anything left to do
But open (the door), because I hear your footsteps
But here you are, don't get that surprised look.
Because I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you
I was so sure you would come
Yes, I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you
I was right to hope for you.
We hurt each other so bad,
We separated for a few words.
It's ancient history, I know you love me
That's why I was watching out for your steps
And here I am, in front of you, opening my arms (to you)
Because I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you
I was so sure you would come
Yes, I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you
I was right to hope for you.
Because I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you
To keep you forever
Yes, I knew, and I was waiting for you, this evening I was waiting for you
This evening I was waiting for you
