Il est venu le temps de l'amour automne,le temps de l'insouciance et des rires perdus,
il a soufflé le vent des soirs monotones et lents
l'amour automne, est venu doucement.
Il est si froid le temps de l'amour hiver,
quand plus rien ne se crée et que tout se perd
la neige a recouvert princesses et chevaliers blancs
l'amour hiver a glacé les amants
Comme il est loin le temps de l'amour printemps,
son parfum éphémère, ses manèges d'antan
il dure qu'un instant, et puis, il est derrière
l'amour printemps, c'est celui des enfants.
English translation :AUTUMN
LOVE

Came the time of autumn love,
The time of
nonchalance
and lost laughter,
The
wind
blew in the slow
monotonous evenings
Autumn love came slowly.
The time of winter love
is
so cold,
When nothing
grows
and all is lost
The snow covered princesses and white knights
Winter love
froze lovers

How far
away
is the time of spring love,
Its ephemeral
fragrance,
the fairground rides
of yesteryear
It lasts only a moment, and then, it is
passed
Spring love is the Love
of children.

Un reflet de vous dans la vitrineEt mon cœur soudain s’illumineDu bout des yeux je vous devineUn sourire de vous,Vos fines moustachesQui se reflètent dans la glaceEt ce bonheur qui me dépasseUn veston croisé,Le regard en coinVotre charme parisienUn reflet de vous, je vous vois sur l’heureFringant sur votre scooter

Un reflet de nousDedans la vitrineLe destin qui se dessineAu volant d’une limousineNous partirons pour la Chine(Adieu, partons pour la Chine)

On croise à ParisDe Montmartre à Saint LouisDes amours transis sous un même parapluieOn les voit qui s'enlacent sur le pont des Arts,On les voit qui s'embrassentSur un quai de gare.

Paris, encore, Paris, toujours,Petits trésors et grand amour.Paris, encore, Paris, toujours,Paris, la nuit, Paris, le jour.

Emmène moi au bal que l'on donne à minuit,Fais-moi voir les étoiles, dansons tout' la nuitSous cent mille lumières,Fais-moi tourner encore,Fais-moi quitter la terre pour des nuages d'or

English translation :
PARIS TOUJOURS
In Paris from Montmartre to Saint LouisWe see lovers fixed under a single umbrellaWe see them entwined on the Pont des Arts,We see them kiss
On a station platform

Paris again, Paris alwaysLittle treasures and great loveParis again, Paris alwaysParis by night, Paris by day
Take me to the midnight ball,let me see the stars, let’s dance all night long‘neath a hundred thousand lightsSpin me around againMake me quit this earth for clouds of gold

C’est fini
Mon chériC’est finiC’est la vieJe m’ennuieMais je t’oublieC’est la vieTant pis
Nous n’irons plus dans cette chambre bleueAvec un balcon sur la merNous n’aurons plus tous ces matins grisEnlacés mais solitaires

English translation :

It’s over
That’s lifeIt’s overMy darlingThat’s lifeI am boredBut I forget youThat’s lifeToo bad
We’ll never go again to that blue roomWith a balcony over the seaWe’ll never again see those grey morningsEntwined but alone

FOR BETTER OR WORSE
One more day to wake up with the sun
Starring at the steam of his hot coffee

behind him his family

He’s been trying, trying hard but there’s no mercy
It’s one more day to accept his destiny
If it’s cold outside, if he’s burning inside

No dreams and no needs

He’s gotta carry on

For better or worse, he would keep on

Dealing with hopes and blames

For better or worse, he’ll just carry on

Never reviving the flame

Frozen in the daily game

For better or worse.

One more day to stand up with the sun

She doesn’t even know if she slept last night

The pills are no longer workin’ so right

One more day to fight,

to fight with her own mind

Dizzy, empty, it’s freezing inside

The rooms don’t change, but the complain remains

Hoping of tomorrow and a new beginning

Today again she’ll end,
sittin in the dark

And carry on.

For better or worse, they would keep on

Dealing with hopes and blames

For better or worse, they just carry on

Never reviving the flame

Frozen in the daily game

One more day to head home with the risin’ sun

Like any other night she ran after the money

The black sunglasses can’t hide you honey
One more day she’ll sleep away, she’ll sleep away her life

The smell of the strangers like a thousand knives

Cause she believed so wrong, her youth is runnin’
She can’t find the right path, though her bell is ringin’

So she swears that the next day, she’ll new begin

But she’ll carry on..

For better or worse, they would keep on

Dealing with hopes and blames

For better or worse, they carry on

Never reviving the flame

Frozen in the daily game

I see them every morning, everyday

Did they ever know what it is to live for?

Have they ever seen the true picture or

Will they ever remember what their dreams were…
For better or worse, they would keep on Dealing with hopes and blames

For better or worse, they just keep on Never reviving the flame

Frozen in the daily game

For better or worse.

Caught up in poetryWrapped in its symmetrySeeing things the way they areWatching each memoryRoll out in front of meAs far as the eye can seeNever be what they wantedAlways be who you areRapt in a reverieLost in its mystery
These seas we’ll safely sail
