“Coupable” (meaning Guilty in French) is a 1973 French-language song and hit single by French singer Jean-François Michael. Lyrics were written by Yves Dessca and music is by the Lebanese composers the Rahbani Brothers (Mansour and Assi Rahbani). The Arabic song is performed by Lebanese diva Fairuz (Feyrouz).
Habbaytak bilsayf
The music of the song is taken from a big 1970 Arabic language hit titled “Habbaytak bilsayf” (in Arabic حبّيتك بالصيف) co-written by the Rahbanis and sung by the Lebanese diva Fairuz (Feyrouz) wife of the song composer Assi Rahbani. Although the music in the two songs is identical, the lyrics are totally unrelated to each other as the Arabic language version “Habbaytak bilsayf” means “I loved you in the summer”.
Coupable
Pour avoir été, un jour le premier
À te caresser, jusqu’à te brûler
Pour avoir osé, aux *creux de mes bras
Faire naître la femme, qui dormait en toi
Je me sens coupable de t’avoir oublié
Coupable, coupable, coupable d’être aimé
Coupable, coupable, coupable à jamais
Coupable de crime, d’être dans ta vie
Une ombre entre toi et lui
Coupable, coupable, coupable d’être aimé
Pour t’avoir longtemps, longtemps fait l’amour
Que tu ne le sais, sans y penser
Pour être à jamais le seul souvenir
Dont nul ne pourra, plus jamais te guérir
Oui je suis coupable de t’avoir oublié
Coupable, coupable, coupable d’être aimé
Coupable, coupable, coupable à jamais
Coupable, de crime, d’être dans ta vie
Une ombre entre toi et lui
Coupable, coupable, coupable à vie!
Guilty (English translation)
For having been, one day, the first
Who caressed you, until you got warm
For having dared, to the ? of my arms
Making born the woman, who slept in you
I feel guilty for having forgotten you
Guilty, guilty, guilty of being loved
Guilty, guilty, guilty forever
Guilty of crime, of being in your life
A shadow between you and him
Guilty, guilty, guilty of being loved
For having you for a long time, for a long time you make love
That you don’t know, without thinking about it
For being forever the only memory
Of which no one could ever cure you
Yes, i’m guilty of having forgotten you
Guilty, guilty, guilty of being loved
Guilty, guilty, guilty forever
Guilty of crime, of being in your life
A shadow between you and him
Guilty, guilty, guilty for life.
