LYRICS (French / English)
Je l'ai cherchée partout / I’ve searched for her everywhere
J'ai fait le tour du monde / I’ve been around the world
De Venise à Java, de Manille à Angkor / From Venice to Java, From Manilla to Angkor
De Jeanne à Victoria, de Vénus en Joconde / From Jeanne to Victoria, from Venus to Joconde*
Je ne l'ai pas trouvée et je la cherche encore / I haven’t found her and I search for her still
Je ne connais rien d'elle et pourtant je la vois / I know nothing about her and yet I see her
J'ai inventé son nom, j'ai entendu sa voix / I’ve made up her name, I’ve heard her voice
J'ai dessiné son corps et j'ai peint son visage / I’ve sketched her body and painted her face
Son portrait et l'amour ne font plus qu'une image / Her portrait and love have become a single image
Sa démarche ressemble aux souvenirs d'enfant / Her walk resembles childhood memories
Qui trottent dans ma tête et dansent en rêvant / That run through my head and dance as they dream
Sur son front, ses cheveux sont de l'or en bataille / On her brow, her hair is tousled gold
Que le vent de la mer et le soleil chamaillent / That the ocean wind and the sun tease
Je pourrais vous parler de ses yeux, de ses mains / I could speak to you of her eyes, of her hands
Je pourrais vous parler d'elle jusqu'à demain / I could tell you about her until tomorrow
Son amour, c'est ma vie mais à quoi bon rêver? / Her love is my life, but what good is this dream?
Je l'ai cherchée partout et je ne l'ai pas trouvée / I’ve looked for her everywhere and I haven’t found her
Je la chercherai à jamais / I’ll search for her always
*La Joconde is another name for the Mona Lisa, from the Italian La Gioconda, which is the feminine version of her husband's last name, del Giocondo. It means jocund or jolly, lighthearted.
