Yes this is the song, (though I note, without lyrics). Now can soneone translate it into English please.

Hi, here it is. I hope it will help you
I warn you, my English is not that good. I still did my best.
Enjoy

Jamais la fin d'été n'avait parue si belle
Never the end of summer seemed so beautiful
Les vignes de l'année auront de beaux raisins.
The vines of the year will have beautiful grapes.
On voit se rassembler déjà les hirondelles
We already see the swallows gather.
Mais il faut se quitter pourtant l'on s'aimait bien.
But we have to leave each other though we loved each other.

Quel joli temps pour se dire au revoir.
What a beautiful weather to say to each other goodbye.
Quel joli soir pour jouer ses vingts ans
What a beautiful evening to play its twenty years.
Sur la fumée des cigarettes, l'amour s'en va, mon coeur s'arrête.
On the cigarette smoke, love goes away, my heart stops.
Quel joli temps pour se dire au revoir
What a beautiful weather to say to each other goodbye.
Quel joli soir pour jouer ses vingts ans.
What a beautiful evening to play its twenty years.

Les fleurs portent déjà les couleurs de septembre.
Flowers already hold the colors of september.
Et l'on entend de loin s'annoncer les bateaux.
And we hear from afar, boats announcing themselves.
Beau temps pour un chagrin que ce temps couleur d'ambre.
Beautiful weather for a sorrow that weather of amber color.
Je reste sur le quai, mon amour à bientôt.
I'm staying on the quay, my love see you soon.

Quel joli temps, mon amour, au revoir.
What a beautiful weather, my love, goodbye.
Quel joli temps pour jouer ses vingts ans.
What a beautiful xeather to play its twenty years.
Sur la fumée des cigarettes, l'amour nous reviendra peut-être.
On the cigarettes smoke, love will maybe come back to us.
Peut-être un soir, au détour d'un printemps.
Maybe one evening, [...] (I didn't know how to translate this part)
Ah quel joli temps, le temps de se revoir.
Ah what a beautiful weather, a weather to say goodbye.

Jamais les fleurs de mai n'auront paru si belles.
Never flowers of may will seem so beautiful.
Les vignes de l'année auront des beaux raisins.
The vines of the year, will have beautiful grapes.
Quand tu me reviendras, avec les hirondelles
When you'll come back to me, with the swallows.
Car tu me reviendras.Mon amour à demain.
Because you'll come back to me/ My lovesee you tomorrow.

Thank you SO much Yoka!

I think the bit you couldn't translate may be something like 'at the turning of a springtime" ??

Another question I have is about the line 'Quel joli temps pour jouer ses vingts ans.'
Does it mean that she is remembering a parting from 20 years ago and she has been replaying it in her memory all those years?

Yes I think you're right for the translation

For your question, I don't really know. When I listened to the music I had the feeling that it meant that she just had 20 years. Like if it was her birthday and she was celebrating it. But I'm not sure of what I'm saying. I've never been good at text analysis :P

And I'm sorry for answering you so late. I hope it wasn't urgent.
