Lyrics (French & German)
Le ciel est noir mon amie
Mais j'y vois clair et la pluie
Der Regen wäscht uns von allen Sünden
La vie est flamme mon amour
Et le vent souffle chaque jour
Der Wind bläst um uns daran su erinnern, daß wir uns lieben
Les nuits sont longues mon amante
Comme une ivresse obsédante
Diese Nächte sind ein paar Augenblicke der Ewigkeit
Le long du fleuve mon âme sœur
Du haut des cimes aux profondeurs
Der Wind bläst um uns daran su erinnern, daß wir uns lieben
De mon âme à ton âme
De mon âme à ton âme
De mon âme à ton âme
De mon âme à ton âme
Le ciel est noir mon amie
Mais j'y vois clair et la pluie
Der Regen wäscht uns von allen Sünden
La vie est flamme mon amour
Et le vent souffle chaque jour
Der Wind bläst um uns daran su erinnern, daß wir uns lieben
Les nuits sont longues mon amante
Comme une ivresse obsédante
Diese Nächte sind ein paar Augenblicke der Ewigkeit
Le long du fleuve mon âme sœur
Du haut des cimes aux profondeurs
Der Wind bläst um uns daran su erinnern, daß wir uns lieben
De mon âme à ton âme
De mon âme à ton âme
De mon âme à ton âme
De mon âme à ton âme
Lyrics (English translation)
The sky is black my friend
But I see it clear and the rain
The rain washes us from all sins
Life is flame my love
And the wind blows every day
The wind blows to remind us that we love each other
The nights are long my lover
Like a haunting drunkenness
These nights are a few moments of eternity
Along the river my soul mate
From the top of the peaks to the depths
The wind blows to remind us that we love each other
From my soul to your soul
From my soul to your soul
From my soul to your soul
From my soul to your soul
The sky is black my friend
But I see it clear and the rain
The rain washes us from all sins
Life is flame my love
And the wind blows every day
The wind blows to remind us that we love each other
The nights are long my lover
Like a haunting drunkenness
These nights are a few moments of eternity
Along the river my soul mate
From the top of the peaks to the depths
The wind blows to remind us that we love each other
From my soul to your soul
From my soul to your soul
From my soul to your soul
From my soul to your soul

ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to comment—I appreciate it. I have learned so much in preparing these notes. This one was really fun to investigate, though they all have been... These smaller films are a rich source of learning about Adèle's career and professional choices. Her theatre performances are also very interesting and give us a glimpse how she keep challenging and extending herself.
