Leny Escudero - We won't have time

Original Title: "Nous n'aurons pas le temps"
Year: 1963

We won't have time
To grow weary
We won't have time
To love each other
I know that well before
The last day
We won't have given
All our love

I can't love you
For the future
For the days without love
Which are going to come
I'll love you a long time
And when death
Will tell me "It's time!"
I will still love you

We won't have time
To wear out a thousand caresses
To wear out our youth
Our love is too big
Even if I live a thousand years
Before the hour strikes
For our love to die
I'll lose you before

The time of our love
For ever
My love, my love
Will have passed
Without having had time
To grow weary
Without having had time
To love one another

The time of our love
For ever
My love, my love
Will have passed

Leny Escudéro - For a fling

Original Title: "Pour une amourette"
Year: 1962

For a fling
Which was passing this way
I've lost my mind
And then here I am
For a fling
Which was setting there
For a fling
Who was reaching her arms out to me
For a fling
Who told me: Come.
I believed that a celebration
Was dancing in my hands
For a fling
Who was making happiness
I've run away from the planet
To follow her elsewhere
Then I told myself
You are at the end of the way
You can stop there
Finally rest
And when love
Drowned in her eyes
I believed that I had just
Invented the blue sky

For a fling
Who had smiled at me
I made myself honest
I changed my life
For a fling
Who knew how to love me
For a fling
Who believed she loved me
For a fling
Eternal love
Lasts the time of a party
The time of a sun
And my fling
Who was too pretty
Towards other conquests
Soon left again
The first farewell
Has kept its secret
She took away love
Leaving me the regrets
But our old spring
Blossomed again in the distance
Close against my heart
Already it was telling me

A little fling
You just have to take it as it comes
One day, two maybe
A long time sometimes
Go dry your tears
A new love
Is watching and disarms
The sorrows of a single day
A small fling
One day will come back
To turn your head
To open its arms
Sing the romance
Of some pretty dream
And I already know
That you'll say yes
Then loves
for you will blossom again
You will love again
At the pretty season
A small fling
Is never too pretty
When you know in advance
How long life lasts

Michèle Arnaud's version:

Leny Escudero - The journey

Original Title: "Le voyage"
Year: 1974

(Him) Tell me, is it for now?
You always say "Wait"
And that we have plenty of time
To make the journey

(Her): It's true it's too early
Harness the horses
Call back the crew
We are barely fifteen years old

(Him) We are fifteen years old, it's true
But I love you, you know
I know the East and the West
I know the North
It's the South I want
The South is in your eyes

(Her) Come on, wait
One must be wise
You crumpled my blouse
One must be patient
We have time
For the light-hearted gallantries
We'll do it your nice journey
We are always twenty years old

(Him) We are always twenty years old
But not for very long
One day we are thirty years old
And then one day fourty
And then we do not count no more
It's time which is counting us
And there, there is more than
necessary in the fairytales

(Her) Oh you were right
I beg for your forgiveness
If I had known
That you'd be my companion
But I could not have known
You who were the first
That you would be the only one
That you'd be the last
Come, it's our last wrecking
We'll do it, the journey
Yes, but just the two of us
Come, put your hand in mine
Don't be afraid, I'm holding you tight

(Him) Oh, don't push me
You are expected over there
It's not that I am tormented
To go in hell
But I can't now
I have something to do
After all there is no hurry
I want my share of caresses
I've the regret of the vine arbour
I want to finish my bottle

(Her) Do not leave me
I'm afraid to get cold
Oh, come right against me
If you loved me
Like I loved you
You only loved me
Tell me, my love
For the last time
