Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud
It's originally a Russian folk song based upon a Russian poem:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Eyes_(song)Here's my awful translation from the French we hear in this version:In your large black eyesI lost myselfwaiting for your noticea pendant heartMy love for you is strongYou, who frightens meIs it sorcery?Or a bad timeAnd around usGypsies are singingNo-one caresGet drunk on champagneIn your beautiful black eyesI sink, my loveAnd my despairAt their song is unhearingI lose reasonseeking your armsBurning with passionCome, kiss meWith your big black eyesThe crisp light at midnightOf all the mysteriesI am crazy about youMy black eyed beautyEven if I don't knowWhere our story goesIt's for my passionThe black eyes that I haveMake this song
Thank you. It does seem very French, doesn't it?

Here's my awful translation from the French we hear in this version:
In your large black eyes
I lost myself
waiting for your notice
a pendant heart
My love for you is strong
You, who frightens me
Is it sorcery?
Or a bad time
And around us
Gypsies are singing
No-one cares
Get drunk on champagne
In your beautiful black eyes
I sink, my love
And my despair
At their song is unhearing
I lose reason
seeking your arms
Burning with passion
Come, kiss me
With your big black eyes
The crisp light at midnight
Of all the mysteries
I am crazy about you
My black eyed beauty
Even if I don't know
Where our story goes
It's for my passion
The black eyes that I have
Make this song
Thank you. It does seem very French, doesn't it?
