English translation of
Le vent et la jeunesse
French
original
The spring wind is wild; it is just like youth
Gently blowing over a wild flower
and then turning to the treasures of roses and cherry trees.
It rests a while and then lightly moves on
The spring wind is wild; it is just like youth
One day it has a violent heart, another day it seeks tenderness
It goes only where it wants to and can lose its head for next to nothing
Without ever thinking about the future
The spring wind is wild; it is just like youth
It runs and never has any time and never keeps its promises
It's changeable just like you, leaving me and then returning
The spring wind is wild; it is just like youth
It can make rain or shine, sows love or sadness
I'd like to hold onto it but it slips through my hands
And leaves nothing but sorrow
Thanx to Alan
McDonald!
