For some reason I always liked:

Un cheval creve (meurt) dans une allee

Des feuilles tombent sur lui

Le ciel tremble

Et notre amour aussi

(A horse dies in an alley, leaves fall on him, the sky trembles and our love also).

 

And of course, the incomparable:

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble

Toi tu m'aimais, et je t'aimais

Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble

Moi qui t'aimais, toi qui m'aimais

Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment

Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit

Et la mer efface sur le sable

Les pas des amants desunis.

(Translated into English as:

Those autumn leaves drift past my window, the autumn leaves of green and gold. I see your face, the summer kisses, those 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.

For A. at autumn time
