I Was Waiting Lyrics by Celine Dion

I Was Waiting

Et jcoutais longtemps couler leau des fontaines
Et jcoutais le vent chanter infiniment
Vagues de quitude et de paix
Daussi loin que je me souvienne
Lenfance est un immense ocan


And I was listening a long time fountains water pour

And I was listening the wind sing for ever

Waves of quietude and peace

As far as I remember

Childhood is an immense ocean
Et je rvais longues annes, longue indolence
O rien ne se passe mais o rien ne soublie
Jallais sereine et sans connatre
Le moindre feu dune absence


And I dreamed long years, long indolence

Where nothing happens but where nothing is forgotten

I was going serene and without knowing

The smallest fire of an absence
Ce nest quen te croisant
Que jai su, jai compris


Thats only when meeting you

That I knew, I understood
Jattendais, jattendais
Jattendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin


I was waiting, I was waiting

I was waiting your look to explain finally

The reason of these goodbyes

To that long road
Jattendais, jattendais
Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains
Ma douce boussole mon nord,
Le sens  mes demains


I was waiting, I was waiting

The country of your body the touch of your hands

My dear compass my north

The meaning to my tomorrows
Et jabordais les troubles rives adolescentes
Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants
Je me souviens les coups de sang
Des musiques et des mots de france
Amants davant


And I was boarding the adolescent beaches

Doubts, games, and bad flowings

I remember the strokes

Musics and words from france

Past lovers
Ya bien des vies quon nourrit dtude ou de science
Destins faits daventures, de records ou dargent
Des vies dcriture et de voyage
Ou de rve de puissance
Jy pensais bien de temps en temps,
En coutant le vent


Theres a lot of lives feeded from studies or science

Destinies make from adventures, from records or money

Lives of writting and voyages

Or from puissance dream

I tought about that from time to time

Listening the wind
Jattendais, jattendais
Jattendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin


I was waiting, I was waiting

I was waiting your look to explain finally

The reason of these goodbyes

To that long road
Jattendais, jattendais, jattendais ton amour
Ton beau ton bel amour
Je lattendais pour enfin vivre
En donnant  mon tour


I was waiting, I was waiting I was waiting your love

Your lovely your beautiful love

I was waiting to finally live

By giving at my turn
Jattendais


I was waiting
