Lyrics:

Quand le soleil était là
Sur nos vacances
Quand il glissait dans nos coeurs
Tant de chaleur

Tout venait de lui
Nos promesses nos tendresses
Nos faiblesses nos caresses
Notre amour

Quand le soleil était là
Sur nos vacances
Quand nous partions pour cueillir
Des souvenirs

Nous ne pensions pas que les rires
Les sourires l'insouciance
Et les danses des beaux jours
Ça ne dure pas toujours

Quand le soleil était là baignant la plage
Quand la mer venait saler tous nos baisers
Nous étions si bien que ce rêve
Qui s'achève oui j'espère
Le refaire l'an prochain

Quand le soleil était là baignant la plage
Quand la mer venait saler tous nos baisers
Nous étions si bien que ce rêve
Qui s'achève oui j'espère
Le refaire l'an prochain

Et tout recommencera
Car l'amour ne s'oublie pas
Et le soleil sera là là là
Et le soleil sera là

(Translation from French):

When the sun was there
through our holidays
When it slipped into our hearts
So warm

All came from it
Our promises, our tenderness
Our weaknesses our caresses
Our love

When the sun was there
through our holidays
When we went away picking up
Our memories

We thought nothing but our laughs
Our smiles, the unconcerns
And the dances of sunny days
That does not last forever

When the sun was there bathing the beach
When the sea came to salt all our kisses
We were so happy that this dream
that comes true, yes I hope
I'll do it again the following year

When the sun was there bathing the beach
When the sea came to salt all our kisses
We were so happy that this dream
that comes true, yes I hope
I'll do it again the following year

And all will happen again
For love is never forgotten
And the sun will be there there there
And the sun will be there

superbe chanson, oui quand le soleil était là, mais quelques fois le soleil est un peu voilé par les nuages que la vie nous place dans le coeur mais quand le soleil est là c'est si bon. Merci pour cette version française . Amitié. Aline
