Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saravah by Les Nubians from French to English.
Heures des songes ou des sages
Hours for dreams or for sages
Un rayon caresse son corps nu
A sunbeam strokes her naked body
Il dort encore
He's still asleep
Ainsi finit leur histoire
That's how their story ends
C'est qu'elle a l'âme vagabonde
'Cause her soul's a wanderer
Son cœur léger suit ses pas
Her light heart follows her steps
Et dans cette petite chambre du monde
And in this tiny room of the world
En brésilien, elle l'a aimé
In Brazilian, she loved him
Amor que coisa mas bonita
Amor, such a beautiful thing
Je chante la samba de l'aurore
I sing the dawn samba
Celle du début du jour
The one of daybreak
Salutations mon amour
Greetings my love
Le soleil arrive
The sun's coming
L'aube montre son visage
Dawn shows its face
Et le regrette déjà
And already regrets it
Quelques mots au bas d'une page
A few words at the bottom of a page
L'amie demain sera loin
Tomorrow the friend'll be far away
Saravah, meu amor
Saravah, my love
Le charme de la lune prend fin
The moon's charm ends
Et l'amour nomade s'évapore
And nomad love drifts off
Comme la rosée du matin
Like the morning dew
Amor que coisa mas bonita
Amor, such a beautiful thing
Je chante la samba de l'aurore
I sing the dawn samba
Celle de la fin des amours
The one at love's end
Quand la lune nous joue des tours
When the moon plays tricks on us
Soleil arrive
Sun's coming
