1 (Spoken)
You know, I have never been as happy as this that morning.
We were walking on a beach a bit like this
(Spoken)
It was autumn, an autumn where the weather was beautiful,
A season that only exists in North America.
There they call it Indian summer
But it was simply born tre,
With your long dress, you looked a little
like a watercolor by Marie Laurencin
And I remember, yes I remember very well
What I told you that morning, a year ago, a century ago, an eternity.
R (Sung)
We will go where you want, when you want
And we will still love each other, when love is dead
Everything in life will be the same as this morning
In the colors of Indian summer.
2 (Spoken)
Today I am very far from this autumn morning
But it's like if I was there, I think of you, where are you , what are you doing.
(Spoken)
Do I still exist for you
I look at this wave that will never reach the dune,
I am like her, you see, like her
I go back like her, I lie down on the sand
And I remember, I remember the high tides,
The sun and happiness passing over the sea
There is an eternity, a century, a year.
Chorus
Final: (Chorus, diminishing)
