La Java Bleue [English translation]

There is in the bal musette1

A tune full of softness

Which makes turn heads

Which makes feel heartbroken

While we are gliding with small steps

Hugging the women we love

In a whisper we tell in a thrill

Listening the accordion play.

[Chorus]

It's the blue Java2

The most beautiful

The one which enchants

And which we dance eye to eye

At the joyful rhythm

When bodies are confused

In the world there is

No other dance like it

It's the blue Java

Darling in my embrace

I want to squeeze you more

To better keep the imprint

And the warmth of your body

So many promises, so many oaths

We make in the craziness of a moment

But these oaths full of love

We know we won't always keep them.

[Chorus]
