Translation of the song Comment te dire artist Joe Dassin

French

Comment te dire

English translation

How can I tell you

Quand s'en va le dernier soleil d'automne

When the last autumn sun fades away

Il vient chauffer encore les feuilles mortes

It comes to warm the dead leaves still

Sur les derniers colchiques il s'abandonne

On the last meadow saffron it abandoned itself

Avant que les froids de novembre ne l'emporte

Before November cold is taking over

Toi, si tu veux comprendre la tendresse

You, if you wish to understand tenderness

Donne-toi comme lui, donne-toi

Give thyself like him, give thyself

Mais comment te dire

But how can I tell you

Mais comment t'apprendre

But how do I teach you

L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien

Love without love is nothing anymore

Laisse-toi conduire

Let yourself be guided

Et cherche à comprendre

And seek to understand

Et reviens me tendre la main

And come back and hold out your hand to me

(×2)

(×2)

Vas regarder comment la terre aride

Go and see how the parched ground

S'ouvre pour embrasser les grandes pluies d'été

Opens to embrace the great summer rains

Et quand tu l'auras vu, tu seras riche

And when you have seen it, you'll be rich

Alors tu reviendras me chercher

Then you'll come back and get me

Mais comment te dire

But how can I tell you

Mais comment t'apprendre

But how do I teach you

L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien

Love without love is nothing anymore

Laisse-toi conduire

Let yourself be guided

Et cherche à comprendre

And seek to understand

Et reviens me tendre la main

And come back and hold out your hand to me

(×3)
