Composer: Joseph Kosma
French lyrics: Jacques Prévert, initially performed by Yves Montand in the film: Les portes de la nuit.
English lyrics: Johny Mercer, performed by Nat King Cole in the film: Autumn leaves.

The falling leaves drift by the window
the autumn leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips, the summer kisses
the sunburnt hands I used to hold.
Since you went away the days grow long
and soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling
when autumn leaves start to fall.

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
toi qui m'aimais et je t'aimais
nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais.
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
tout doucement, sans faire du bruit
et la mer efface sur le sable
les pas des amants désunis.

Since you went away the days grow long
and soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling
when autumn leaves start to fall.
