Message Personnel (English)

(Michel Hamburger) adaptation anglaise Françoise Hardy



At the end of the line is the sound of your voice

And the words that I can't that I never shall say

Those words that people fear when they don't make them laugh

That have been too often in books, songs and movies

Words I'd like to tell you and words I'd like to live

Words I never shall say: I want to, I just can't

I'm so lonesome I could die and I know where you are

I'm coming, wait for me, I know you, you know me

Will you spare me some time 'cause I'll give you all mine

I'd like to come to you, but I always stay

I never come to you: I want to, I just can't

I ought to speak to you, I ought to be with you or at least try to sleep

I'm afraid you'll be deaf, I'm afraid you'll escape

Afraid I'm too forward and I never shall say that I've fallen for you



But if you think you could love me tomorrow

Don't be afraid of memories and sorrow

We'll flee the past where we can leave tomorrow, come and rescue me

If you think you could love me tomorrow

Don't be afraid if the path looks narrow

Between the past and the life tomorrow, come and rescue me



If you're fed up with your life and find no way

When every day is just another yesterday, think of me, think of me



But if you think you could love me tomorrow

Don't wait a day, don't waste a time you can't know

Where will your life lead from here tomorrow, come and rescue me

If you think you could love me tomorrow

Run, take my hand, and where you go I'll follow

I need a sign so I can let my love show, come and rescue me



If you're fed up with your life and find no way

When every day is just another yesterday, think of me, think of me



But if you...
