The falling leaves (singular = leaf, plural = leaves)
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
-feuilles
- passent doucement devant (litéralement = dérivent)
-brûlées par le soleil
- que je tenais
- depuis que tu es partie
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
- s’allongent
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
- tu me manques surtout
- la chanson du vieux bonhomme d’hiver
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
