A woman

Original version:
 
I was with some strange men then
As light as the ashes of their cigars
They gave parties at the Palace of Versailles
They were only straw castles.
 
And I wasted my time in that golden desert.
I was alone when I met you.
The others were burying themselves, you were alive.
You sang like a child sings.
 
You were as gay as an Italian
When he knows he'll have love and wine
And I, for the first time,
I felt at last:
 
Woman, woman, a woman with you,
Woman, woman, a woman with you,
 
You looked a bit like that air from before
Where white horses galloped,
Your face was serious but your smile was clear,
I walked straight to your light.
 
Today whatever we do
We make love,
Near you time seems so short...
Because you are a man and you are kind
And you know how to make life beautiful.
You're as happy as an Italian
When he knows he'll have love and wine.
It's always like the first time,
When I finally became
Woman, woman, a woman with you,
Woman, woman, a woman with you,
Woman, woman, a woman with you,
Woman, woman, a woman with you,
Woman, woman, a woman with you.
