I loved you, I love you, I shall love you - Francis Cabrel

I loved you, I love you, I shall love you

 

My naked child on pebbles,

The wind in your disheveled hair,

As spring on my way,

A diamond fallen from a casket.

 

Only the light could

Undo our secret marks

Where, my fingers caught on your wrists,

I loved you, I love you and I shall love you.

 

Whatever you do

Love is everywhere you look at,

In the slightest corner of space,

In the slightest dream where you linger,

Love as if it was pouring,

Naked on pebbles.

 

The sky claims he knows you,

He’s so beautiful, it’s certainly true,

He, who never approaches,

I saw him caught in your nets.

 

The world has so many regrets,

So many things we promise,

The one thing I am made for:

I loved you, I love you and I shall love you.

 

And whatever you do

Love is everywhere you look at,

In the slightest corner of space,

In the slightest dream where you linger,

Love as if it was pouring,

Naked on pebbles.

 

 

 

We’ll fly away from the same dock,

Eyes into the same reflections.

For in this life and the one after

You’ll be my only project.

 

I shall go posting your portraits

Upon all the ceilings of all the palaces,

Upon all the walls I shall find

And, just below, I shall write

That only light could…

 

And, my fingers caught on your wrists,

I loved you, I love you and I shall love you.
