guetter

to watch out for

Je guettais son pas. la porte allait s´ouvrir sur ce géant.	I waited for his footsteps... the door to open upon the huge man.
Je t'avais dit que je guettais.	I told you I was gonna keep my ears open.
Je guettais une fille.	I was asked to look out for a girl.
Je la guettais tout le temps.	I was always looking out for her.
Tu me guettais.	You were looking out for me.
Je te guettais.	I was waiting for you.
Je te guettais.	I've had a lot on.
On y allait ensemble. Je guettais et il...	I'd watch the street, and he'd...
- Tu me guettais ?	How do you know to be here?
Quand j'étais petit, je te guettais dans les bois, près de ta hutte,	When I was a boy, I used to wait in the woods outside your hut, and when you came out,
- Je te guettais.	Looking for you out the window.
Je me garais sur la rue et je guettais le coin juste là. J'essayais de la voir passer.	I just parked down the street, and then I kind of just look up, you know, this corner right here, and, you know, try to see if I could see her, you know, moving around.
Je guettais le silence avec l'anxiété de quelqu'un qui guetterait le bruit, essayant de m'assurer que le Seigneur ne m'avait pas joué un tour et avait décidé de revenir plus tôt.	I listened for silence as anxiously as one might listen for noise, trying to be sure that the Lord hadn't pulled a fast one on me and decided to come back early.
Pendant un instant, j’ai l’impression de voir cet homme dont je guettais le retour du travail, assis à la fenêtre, craignant qu’il y ait eu un accident à l’usine, quelque 40 ans plus tôt.	He looks momentarily like the man I would sit on the window sill waiting for; waiting for him to come in from work, worried there had been an accident at the factory, some 40 years previously.
Ce n'est pas lui que je guettais.	I wasn't laying for HIM.
- Monsieur Maurice, je vous guettais.	I was waiting for you.
