Édith Piaf "Mon légionnaire" lyrics

Translation to:enessr

Mon légionnaire

Il avait de grands yeux très clairsOù parfois passaient des éclairsComme au ciel passent des orages.Il était plein de tatouagesQue j’ai jamais très bien compris,Son cou portait : « Pas vu, pas pris. »Sur son cœur on lisait : « Personne. »Sur son bras droit un mot : « Raisonne. »

J’sais pas son nom, je n’sais rien d’lui.Il m’a aimée toute la nuit,Mon légionnaire !Et me laissant à mon destinIl est parti dans le matinPlein de lumière !Il était mince, il était beau,Il sentait bon le sable chaud,Mon légionnaire !Y avait du soleil sur son frontQui mettait dans ses cheveux blondsDe la lumière !

Bonheur perdu, bonheur enfui,Toujours je pense à cette nuitEt l’envie de sa peau me ronge.Parfois je pleure et puis je songeQue lorsqu’il était sur mon cœur,J’aurais dû crier mon bonheurMais je n’ai rien osé lui dire,J’avais peur de le voir sourire !

Refrain

On l’a trouvé dans le désert ;Il avait ses beaux yeux ouverts.Dans le ciel, passaient des nuages,Il a montré ses tatouagesEn souriant et il a dit,Montrant son cou : « Pas vu, pas pris. »Montrant son cœur : « Ici, personne. »Il ne savait pas… Je lui pardonne.

J’rêvais pourtant que le destinMe ramènerait un beau matinMon légionnaire.Qu’on s’en irait seuls tous les deuxDans quelque pays merveilleuxPlein de lumière !Il était mince, il était beau,On l’a mis sous le sable chaudMon légionnaire !Y avait du soleil sur son frontQui mettait dans ses cheveux blondsDe la lumière !

My American Army Boy

He had large eyes, very clearSomewhat like lightning in the skyduring a thunderstormHe was covered in tattoosthat I never really understoodHis neck said "Not seen, not caught"Above his heart was "nobody"And on his right arm, one word: "reason"

I don't know his name, I don't know anything about himYet he loved me all night long,my American army boy!And leaving me to my fate,he was gone by the morning,full of light!He was thin, he was handsome,he smelled like the hot sandmy American army boy!It was the sun on his foreheadthat made his hair shine blondein the light

Happiness lost, happiness fledI often think of that night andhis craving to bite at my skinSometimes I cry and I thinkwhen I felt such emotion,I would've screamed in happinessBut I didn't dare tell him my feelingsI was afraid to see him smile!

I don't know his name, I don't know anything about himYet he loved me all night long,my American army boy!And leaving me to my fate,he was gone by the morning,full of light!He was thin, he was handsome,he smelled like the hot sandmy American army boy!It was the sun on his foreheadthat made his hair shine blondein the light

They were found in the desert,his beautiful eyes were openIn the sky above, clouds passed byHe showed his tattoos, smilingrevealing his neck and saying "Not seen, not caught"Showing his heart: "here, nobody"He doesn't know it....but I forgive himStill, I dreamed that fatewould give me back a beautiful morningwith my American army boy,That we'd be alone togetherin some wonderful countrythat's full of light!

He was thin, he was handsome,he smelled like the hot sandmy American army boy!It was the sun on his foreheadthat made his hair shine blondein the light
