Je reviens te chercher Lyrics Translation – Grey Wiese
Becaud and Delanoë write about lovers who ‘waged war’ and ‘pillaged, stole, and ruined’ each other. Wiese sings the protagonist returning ‘trembling like a young groom’ yet ‘richer than in days gone by’ with tenderness.
Je Reviens Te ChercherI’m coming back for you.
Je Savais Que Tu M’attendaisI knew you’d be waiting for me.
Je Savais Que L’on Ne PourraitI knew that we couldn’t,
Se Passer L’un De L’autre Longtempsdo without each other for long.
Je Reviens Te ChercherI’m coming back for you.
Et Je N’ai Pas Tellement ChangéAnd I haven’t changed that much.
Et Je Vois Que De Ton CôtéAnd I see that on your end,
Tu As Bien Traversé Le Tempsyou’ve weathered time well.
Tous Les Deux On S’est Fait La GuerreWe both waged war on each other.
Tous Les Deux On S’est Pillé Volé RuinéWe both pillaged, stole, and ruined each other.
Qui A Gagné Qui A PerduWho won, who lost,
On N’en Sait Rien On Ne Sait Pluswe don’t know, and we don’t know anymore.
On Se Retrouve Les Mains NuesWe’re meeting again with empty hands.
Je Reviens Te ChercherI’m coming back for you.
Tremblant Comme Un Jeune MariéTrembling like a young groom,
Mais Plus Riche Qu’aux Jours Passésbut richer than in days gone by.
De Tendresse Et De Larmes Et De TempsWith tenderness, and tears, and time.
Je Reviens Te ChercherI’m coming back for you.
J’ai L’air Bête Sur Ce PalierI must look foolish on this landing,
Aide-moi Et Viens M’embrasserhelp me and come kiss me.
Un Taxi Est En Bas Qui AttendThere’s a taxi waiting downstairs.
Tous Les Deux On S’est Fait La GuerreWe both waged war on each other.
Tous Les Deux On S’est Pillé Volé RuinéWe both pillaged, stole, and ruined each other.
Qui A Gagné Qui A PerduWho won, who lost,
On N’en Sait Rien On Ne Sait Pluswe don’t know, and we don’t know anymore.
On Se Retrouve Les Mains NuesWe’re meeting again with empty hands.
