The way that the willow bows over the stream
Like a mourner crying for their loved one
Reminds me of last fall
When on one knee, I pledged myself to you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/anathema/jfait+une+promesse_20520662.html ]
La, vois, le saule s'incline dessus du ruisseau,
Comme une personne qui se descend, criant pour l'amant.
Me rapelle d'automne, presse dans ton reverence,
Je m'ai engagee a vous...

[Literal Translation]
There, look, the willow clings over the river,
Like a person who bows down, crying for the lover.
Reminds me of Autumn, [when] you were kneeling,
I engaged myself to you...
