J'fait Une Promesse Lyrics - Anathema

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 

La, vois, le saule s'incline dessus do 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...
