Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
the dead leaves scooped up with a shovel
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
memories and regrets too
Et le vent du nord les emporte
and the north wind will take them away
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli
In the cold night of forgetfulness
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
you see, I haven't forgotten
La chanson que tu me chantais
the song that you were singing to me
The falling leaves
The falling leaves
Drift by the windows
Drift by the windows
The autumn leaves
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
Of red and gold
I see your lips
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The summer kisses
The sun burned hands
The sun burned hands
I used to hold
I used to hold
Since you went away
Since you went away
The days grow long
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
But I miss you most of all
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
It's a song that resembles us
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
you loved me and I loved you
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
we all lived together
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
but life separates those who love each other
Since you went away
Since you went away
The days grow long
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
But I miss you most of all
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall
