Soleil [English translation]

And it was him - Mr. Sun

who woke us both up

every morning.

And the sea was beautiful,

and we used to run to it

hand in hand.

And then we would walk along the beach -

you would hunt seashells

like a child,

putting them to your ear

to listen to - and I still remember -

the ocean deep within.

Chorus:

Mr. Sun, I love you

and you are always loyal,

but love is rarely like you -

why?

You were always so hungry,

ripe fruit and wine

were for you.

You would sometimes scold me

when I wasn't eating,

but it was nothing serious.

And the water would spread over the sand,

and our dreams were the same,

I remember :

We would talk about the house

and the children that we were going to have

and we were happy.

{Chorus}

And it is still him - Mr. Sun

who will wake me up

every morning.

Be it summer or winter,

he sees love passing beneath him,

but also heartache.

How many beaches will it take,

how many other faces,

so that I, like you,

can also forget the house

and the blonde-headed children

that we will never have?

{2 x Chorus}
