french translation needed

I am looking for the french translation of ' I could sing of your love forever'


Please help! thanks Hanneke

Hi.
These are the English lyrics as sung by Delerious [and others], so I'll move this over to the French department for you. [where one of our French speaking members may be able to help you]
--------------------------------------------
I could sing of Your love forever


Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when
Your love came down. [Yeah!]

I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever. [Repeat]

Oh, I feel like dancing -
it's foolishness I know;
but, when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.

i think it's gonna be that way

i=je
could=pourrais
sing=chanter
of=de
your=ton
love=amour
forever=pour toujours
the whole sentence
je pourrais chater de ton amour pour toujours
i hope i could help

Hanneke, your name sounds dutch. hope this helps -
sorry if any of my french sounds funny but i am not a frenchman.

Au-dessus des montagnes et de la mer
Une fleuve de ton amour coule pour moi
Et je vais ouvrir mon coeur
pour que le Guérisseur puisse me libérer.
Je suis heureux d'être dans la verité
et chaque jour je leverai mes mains:
car je chanterai toujours du moment
où ton amour est descendu

Je pourrais chanter de ton amour pour toujours (merci larrosa)

Oh, j'ai envie de danser
Je sais que c'est de la folie
mais, quand tout le monde aura vu la lumière
Ils danseront de joie
tout comme nous dansons maintenant

Here's my French version of those lines

Over the mountains and the sea,
(au dessus des montagnes et de la mer)
Your river runs with love for me,
(ta rivière coule avec de l'amour pour moi)
and I will open up my heart
(et je vais ouvrir mon coeur)
and let the Healer set me free.
(et laisser le Guérisseur me libérer
I'm happy to be in the truth,
(Je suis heureux d'être dans la vérité)
and I will daily lift my hands:
(et chaque jour je léverai mes mains)
for I will always sing of when
(pour chanter toujours le jour ou ton amour est descendu(du ciel)
Your love came down. [Yeah!]

I could sing of Your love forever,
(Je pourrais chanter ton amour pour touours)
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever. [Repeat]

Oh, I feel like dancing -
(oh, j'ai envie de danser)
it's foolishness I know;
(ce sont des bêtises, je sais)
but, when the world has seen the light,
(mais quand le monde a vu le jour)
they will dance with joy,
(ils danceront avec joie)
like we're dancing now.
(comme nous sommes en train de danser maintenant)


There seems to have a problem with tenses in that song " when the world has seen" followed by future "they will", seems odd, no?, someone could explain? it's beyond my English.

World means the people in the world.
If you imagine a "then" in front of "they will" it makes more sense."Then" is often omitted in sentences like that in English

That's how I understand it anyway.

In English 'when' cannot be followed by a future tense.

So instead of writing 'when i will see the light'
you have to write 'when i see the light'
and instead of 'when i will have seen the light'
it's 'when i have seen the light'.

compare this with 'when i saw the light' which refers to the past.

Except if 'when' is used in a question.
eg. When will I, will I be famous?

PS I can't answer, I can't answer that.
