DON'T SAY A WORD
(Après L'Amour)
 
Charles Aznavour & Liesbeth List
 

LIESBETH :
My hands of time stand still
Rain on the window sill
The lazy clouds drift by
A rainbow in the sky
We two stand here alone
So alone, you and I
 
Love, now you are close to me
Oh, come closer to me
I feel your gentle touch
Warm fingers touching, running
At last, we two are one
I beg you let this moment last forever
 
Don't say a word
Let your lips go on kissing me
Don't say a word
Share this moment with me
Pressing close to your heart
Makes my world feel a part of yours
Don't destroy it by just making a love scene of it
Don't say a word
Let me feel what your lips can say
We might be heard and the moon fly away
Darling, lie here with me
What must be love, must be, my heart has heard
Darling, don't say a word
 
CHARLES :
Pressing close to your heart
Makes my world feel a part of your world
Don't destroy it by just making a love scene of it
Don't
LIESBETH :
Don't say a word
CHARLES :
Let me feel
LIESBETH :
Let me feel what your lips can say
CHARLES
Don't
LIESBETH :
We might be heard
And the moon fly away
BOTH :
Darling, lie here with me
What must be love must be
My heart has heard
My darling don't say a word
 
CHARLES :
Don't, darling, answer
Ah, don't

APRÈS L'AMOUR
(Charles Aznavour)

Charles Aznavour (France) - 1965

Also recorded by :
Ornella Vanoni


Nous nous sommes aimés, nos joies se sont offertes
Et nos cœurs ont battu poussés par cet instinct
Qui unit les amants en se fichant du reste

Glisse tes doigts par ma chemise entrouverte
Et pose sur ma peau la paume de ta main
Et les yeux mi-clos nous restons sans dire un mot
Sans faire un geste

Après l'amour, quand nos corps se détendent
Après l'amour, quand nos souffles sont courts

Nous restons étendus
Toi et moi, presque nus
Heureux, sans rien dire
Éclairés d'un même sourire

Après l'amour, nous ne formons qu'un être
Après l'amour, quand nos membres sont lourds

Au sein des draps froissés
Nous restons enlacés
Après l'amour
Au creux du jour
Pour aimer

DOPO L'AMORE

Charles Aznavour (France)


Dopo un ora d'amor
Noi siamo tutto il mondo
E qualcosa di noi, e', l'istinto che fa
Unire gli amori, incuranti del resto
E sento passar, le tue dita leggere
Che poni su di me con finta ingenuita'
Adesso che noi ci perdiamo
Ad ascoltar, lunghi silenzi
Dopo l'amor,noi non siamo piu' soli,
Dopo l'amor, tu respiri con me,
E restiamo cosi,
Solo noi, a sognar,
Felici di nulla
Io e te, lo stesso sorriso
Dopo l'amor,
Siamo un essere solo
Dopo l'amor
Io ti vedo così
Ogni cosa e' un perche',
E rimani con me
Dopo l'amore,
Per continuare a sognar.
