James Barbour (as Sydney Carton) singing "I Can't Recall" from "A Tale of Two Cities".

Lyrics:

What was that?
And where did all those stars come from?
Carton, you are drunk, aren't you?

I can't recall
A night so clear
The heavens seem an inch away
Not cold and empty like before
A night as sweet as this, tonight
I can't recall

I can't recall
The taste of wine
That I have been drinking on my days
A crippled wretch content to crawl
If I have been that man right now
I can't recall

I can't recall
My sense of shame
Was failure bogged inside my heart
Or did the many years of waste
Leave it there?
Did I just feel it disappear
Because you care?

The choice is mine
Tomorrow at my feet
All yesterday's a haze
I pray that I will not repeat

I can't recall
A night so clear
The heavens seem an inch away
And not unfriendly after all
After all
If life was ever quite this sweet
I can't recall

-------------------

French Translation:

Qu'est-ce que c'était?
Et d'où venaient toutes ces étoiles ?
Carton, tu es ivre, n'est-ce pas ?

Je ne me souviens pas
D'une nuit si claire
Le cieux semblent être si près de moi
Pas froid et vide comme autrefois
Une nuit aussi douce que ce soir
Je ne me souviens pas

Je ne me souviens pas
Du goût du vin
Que j'avais l'habitude de boire
Et qui me rendais si misérable
Si je suis cet homme, maintenant
Je ne me souviens pas

Je ne me souviens pas
De ma confusion
L'échec s'est-il enlisé dans mon cœur
Ou bien toutes ces années perdues
L'ont laissé là ?
L'ai-je donc senti disparaître
Parce que tu te soucies de moi?

Le choix est mien
Demain est à mes pieds
Et le passé dans la brume
Je prie pour ne jamais recommencer
Je ne me souviens pas
D'une nuit si claire
Les cieux semblent être si près de moi
Et pas si hostile après tout
Après tout
Si la vie était aussi douce que maintenant
Je ne me souviens pas
