Fanette (La Fanette)

We were two friends in love, Fanette and I
 The empty beach was warm and sleepy in July
 If the sea recalls, the waves would surely say
 I sang so may songs for Fanette each day
 She was, she was as beautiful as rainbows in the sky
 She was so beautiful and not at all am I
 She was, she was there on the sand as gold as she was brown
 And when I held her hand I held the world around
 I was, I was so crazy then to think that it could be
 I thought that I was hers, I believed she was for me
 But we, we never learn until it's too late
 We were two friends in love, Fanette and I
 The empty beach was warm deceitful in July
 If the sea recalls, the waves would surely say
 I stopped singing my songs for Fanette that day
 I saw, I saw them arm-in-arm enfolded by the sea
 They looked so much in love they never looked at me
 They saw, they saw me and they laughed, they stood and watched me cry
 And sang their little song, I cursed the summer sky
 You see, I'd like to tell you how
 They swam so well that day
 They swam so far away
 You'll never see them now
 Oh, no, no, no, no, no - no we never learn
 But let's talk of something else
 We were never two friends, Fanette and I
 The empty streets are cold and crying in July
 But when the waves are still I still can hear it yet
 I hear a little song
 I hear
 Fanette
