  1. CD 1 – Hier Ou Demain (from the film Anna)

(Serge Gainsbourg)
French and English lyrics

Hier ou demain
Écoute mon coeur qui bat
Il ne bat pas pour toi,
Mais pour un autre que toi
Que je ne connais pas

Hier ou demain,
Je t’aurais dit oui
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd’hui

Oui, j’aurais pu être à toi,
Mais tu n’étais pas là
J’étais libre comme toi,
Mais ne le savais pas

Hier ou demain,
Je t’aurais dit oui
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd’hui

Hier est si loin déjà
Et je ne t’aimais pas
Et dès demain si tu penses à moi
Je ne serai plus là

Hier ou demain,
Je t’aurais dit oui
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd’hui

Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd’hui

Yesterday Or Tomorrow

Listen to my heart beat
It doesn’t beat for you,
But for someone other than you
Whom I do not know

Yesterday or tomorrow
I would have said yes to you
Yesterday or tomorrow,
But not today

Yes, I could have been yours,
But you weren’t there,
I was free as were you,
But I didn’t know

Yesterday or tomorrow
I would have said yes to you
Yesterday or tomorrow,
But not today

Yesterday is so far away already
And I did not love you then
And from tomorrow if you think of me
I won’t be there anymore

Yesterday or tomorrow
I would have said yes to you
Yesterday or tomorrow,
But not today

Yesterday or tomorrow,
But not today
