Et les vents du nord, les emportant
Dans la nuit blanche de n’oubli
Que moi, je n’ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands i used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon i’ll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all, my darling
When the autumn leaves start to fall…

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon i’ll hear
Old winter’s song
But i miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
C’est une chanson,
Qui nous ressemble,
Toi qui m’aimais,
Et je t’aimais,
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais,
Moi qui t’aimais,
Mais la vie sépare,
Ceux qui s’aiment,
Tout doucement,
Sans faire de bruit,
Et la mer efface sur le sable,
Les pas des amants désunis.
Since he went away,
The days grow long…
And soon i’ll hear,
Old winter songs,
But i miss you most of all,
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall…

Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight
The words that you said have gone too
Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight
So are the memories of love that we knew
The wind of forgetfulness blows then
Into the night of regret,
The song you would often sing
Is echoing, echoing yet
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon, I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I’ll miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall
If you leave this time I fear that you’ll be gone for good
So I hold on like leaves and fall to what is left
Said her father left her young and
He said he’ll be back with that same
Song that you just said you’ll stay forever with
It seems that all the autumn leaves are falling
I feel like you’re the reason for it
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
It seems that you’re the only reason for it
I’ve been bleeding in your silence
I feel safer in your violence
I hold on like leaves in fall to what is left
Before I sleep I talk to God
Must be mad with me it’s coming
I’m confused, who I’ll spend my forever with?
It seems that all the autumn
Leaves are falling
I feel like you’re the reason for it
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
So the iceberg never broke
And I poked at it and I poked at it and I poked at it
And I poke (and I poke) and I poked at it
But it stayed stagnant then I poked at it some more (some more)
And in my notepad, man I wrote (and I wrote)
If I don’t have it, if I don’t grab it
If it don’t chip then a toe tag is, one last
I’mma hope (I’mma hope) so the iceberg don’t float (don’t float)
If I do manage to do damage to you dammit
It’d be grand, it’s ten grammies or my granite still standing
With a note (with a note) that read ”granted, don’t you panic”
When you make mistakes the most (the most)
One day it’ll make you grow (you grow)
When you outlandish and you lose manners
To God you shall consult (consult)
When the bright cameras are still cramming
In your face and it provoke (provoke)
You to act manic, just stay planted
Cause you reapin’ what you sowed
Keep positivity in your heart and (and)
Keep a noose from ‘round your throat and (and)
When you get mad and when you poke at it
When you poke it at just know, man
The iceberg is a reflection of you when you re-new your vision
Just think if it had sunk Titanic, what the fuck would it do to a critic, my nigga?
Yeah, yeah, tell me, when doves cry do you hear ‘em love?
(Do you hear ‘em love? Do you hear ‘em?)
And if my ship go down tell me who will abort?
And they won’t let me live even when remorse that I give
When it gon’ rejoice and forgive, tell me how I stay positive
When they never see good in me
Even though I got hood in me
Don’t mean he won’t redeem me, Lord
It seems that all the autumn
Leaves are falling
I feel like you’re the reason for it
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
All the things you do
Another day another life
Passes by just like mine
It’s not complicated
Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It’s not complicated
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And your miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Another tear
Another cry
Another place for us to die
Its not complicated
Another life that’s gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It’s complicated
Is it that it’s over or do birds still sing for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And your miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Ooh how i miss you
My symphony places the song that carries you out
Ooh how i miss you
I miss you and i wish you’d stay
Is it any wonder that the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And your miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And your miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Ooh oh, ooh oh
Ooh oh, ooh oh
Touch down
Like a seven four seven
Stay out and we’ll live forever now
