Autumn: did you miss “watching” its charm, like Mr. Nicola Ciccone?

From this blog, you may already know how much Bambi appreciates Mr. Nicola Ciccone’s voice, lyrics, humanity, and charm. Today she came across a new song by this Canadian artist. It is entitled “J’regarde l’automne” [I watch the autumn].

If you wish, you may listen to Ciccone’s nostalgic yet beautiful melody, which is happily featured below. For your convenience, an English translation of its French lyrics follows the YouTube video. If you are a regular reader, you may perhaps guess who assisted Bambi in this translation.

Yes, she will now thank Mr. Google Translate who refuses to take time off in any season. Since everyone needs holidays or little breaks, should we worry about his well-being :)?

Autumn or not. On vacation or not. Always bravo to Mr. Ciccone for his depth!

I watch the fall (the French lyrics can be found at https://shorturl.at/hijtD):

“I’m really tired

Very tired

I’m no longer able to look at myself

I want to leave

I can’t fall anymore

I’m no longer big

I’m exhausting

Why has life given me time to love less

what I used to love so much

I look at autumn so that it smiles at me

The big moon is sleeping in the background of the rain

It is still windy, still dark outside

I no longer have a big heart to be understood

I am the ace of hearts

I am an inventor

I invent words to laugh at fear

But it is without colours

I’m nothing but a liar

And maybe it’s true that I’m looking too far

That I love too big

That I love for nothing

Maybe I’m too much or nothing but too good

I walk against the wind so it can lose its eye

Then let it fill the city with leaves

There’s too much space to be alone

Time piles up, then fills with mourning

I’m tired of being upright

I’m worse than that

I’m the dark dream of a clumsy man who froze to death

Who doesn’t care about your laws

So lock your doors

Screaming that autumn froze to death

I stay outside watching it

I look at autumn so that it smiles at me

The big moon is sleeping in the background of the rain

It is still windy, still dark outside

I no longer have a big heart to be understood“.
