Barbara - Wait for my joy to come back

Original Title : "Attendez que ma joie revienne"
Year : 1963

Wait for my joy to come back
And for that memory to die
Of that love of so much sorrow
Which never stop dying
Before telling me 'I love you'
Before I'm able to tell it to you
Wait for my joy to come back
So that I can smile in the morning

Leave me. Sorrow takes me away
And I sail on my delirium
Leave me. Open that door.
Leave me. I'll come back
I'll wait for my joi to come back
And for that memory to be dead
Of that love of so much sorrow
For which I wanted to die
I'll wait for my joy to come back
So that I can smile in the morning
For the wind to have dried up my sorrow
And the night to have calmed my delirium

There is, I heard, a shore
Where one heals from the ill of loving
Dead loves are stranded there
Black shipwrecks from the past
If you want for my joy to come back
For me to be able to smile in the morning
Towards that country where sorrow dies
I beg you, let me go
Of my past loves,
The memory must perish.
So that, freed from my chain
Towards you, I could come back

Then, I make the promise to you
Together we'll go pick up
In the crazy garden of tenderness
The flower of love which will open up
But it's too early to tell you I love you
Too early to hear you say it
The voice I hear is his
They are alive, my memories
Forgive-me: It's him I love
The past can not die
