Description MON AMIE LA ROSE / THE ROSE

(Paroles : Cécile Caulier / Musique : Cécile Caulier, Jacques Lacombe 1964 / Singer : Françoise Hardy)



French version
On est bien peu de chose
Et mon amie la rose
Me l'a dit ce matin
A l'aurore je suis née
Baptisée de rosée
Je me suis épanouie
Heureuse et amoureuse
Aux rayons du soleil
Me suis fermée la nuit
Me suis réveillée vieille

Pourtant j'étais très belle
Oui j'étais la plus belle
Des fleurs de ton jardin

On est bien peu de chose
Et mon amie la rose
Me l'a dit ce matin
Vois le dieu qui m'a faite
Me fait courber la tête
Et je sens que je tombe
Et je sens que je tombe
Mon cœur est presque nu
J'ai le pied dans la tombe
Déjà je ne suis plus

Tu m'admirais hier
Et je serai poussière
Pour toujours demain.

On est bien peu de chose
Et mon amie la rose
Est morte ce matin
La lune cette nuit
A veillé mon amie
Moi en rêve j'ai vu
Eblouissante et nue
Son âme qui dansait
Bien au-delà des nues
Et qui me souriait

Crois celui qui peut croire
Moi, j'ai besoin d'espoir
Sinon je ne suis rien

Ou bien si peu de chose
C'est mon amie la rose
Qui l'a dit hier matin.

English version
A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
"This morning I was born
And baptised in the dawn
I flowered in the dew
And life was fresh and new
The sun shone through the cold
And through the day I grew
By night-time I was old"

"At least there's never been
No, you have never seen
A rose more bright and gay"

A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
"The good lord smiled on me
So why then should it be
I feel I'm falling now
Oh yes, I'm falling now
My heart no-one can save
My head begins to bow
My feet are in the grave"

The rose God smiled upon
Tomorrow will be gone
Forever gone away

A lifetime comes and goes
And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day
The moon is shining bright
And in my dreams tonight
Beneath the starlit sky
My friend the rose goes by
He has seen my dreams I see
A soul that wouldn't die
Still watching over me

Whatever fortune brings
I'll hope for better things
Or life will just be grey

"A lifetime comes and goes"
That's what my friend the rose
Said only yesterday
