Les Misérables Paris 1991 - J'avais rêvé PAROLES-LYRICS

Translation:
Dear Lord, what have I done to you
So that the further I fall
The more you let me down?
I dreamed of a heart so large
That mine could find a place
With happiness to share.
Dear Lord, what have I done to you?

I dreamed of another life
Where my life passed like a dream
I was ready for all the follies
For all the passions that arose.

I was so young, what's wrong with that?
I wanted to laugh, to love and to live.
To dance 'til the end of the ball
Drunk on the happiness of being free.

But wolves prowl in the night
And one of them caught my scent
So I sated the appetite
Of the first passing thief.

He had accustomed my life
To the heat of his presence
And then, one day, he was gone
Having stolen my childhood.

Sometimes I still dream of him
He pleads with me and he repents
But the dream fades at dawn
Like paper lanterns the morning after a party.

I dreamed of another life
Barely begun, it is snuffed out.
I dreamed of another life
But life has killed
My dreams.
