meira | Autumn Leaves/Les Feuilles Mortes -- Canen at the 2017 Syracuse JazzFest @meirameira | Uploaded July 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Performing at the JazzFest was such an honor and an incredible experience! I absolutely love French, so I thought I'd sing a song in French for part of the set. I've had a busy summer but it's nice to finally be back home now!

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
Toi tu m'aimais, moi je t'aimais
Et nous vivions, tous deux ensemble,
Toi qui 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

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned 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
