Autumn Leaves (Les feuilles mortes)
Music by Joseph Kosma
French lyrics by Jacques Prévert
English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Instrumental performance by Dave C

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 miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C’est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m’aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que 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

This song was first performed by the great French actor and singer Yves Montand in the 1946 movie "Les portes de la nuit".
