Il y avait [English translation]

There once was a boy who lived simple

Working in the suburb.

There once was a girl who simply dreamed

Waiting for love.

There once was the spring

The spring of books

That passes singing

And looking for unsettling hearts

To lend his oaths.

And make lovers.

He had a marvellous moment,

Where their looks were united

He had delicious moments,

Where, without saying anything, they understood him.

He had destiny.

Who pushed the kid,

And took his hand,

He had heat,

The heat of happiness

That shows on their hearts.

There once was this furnished room,

With windows facing the courtyard,

There once was this couple who loved each other,

And their sentences always spoke.

There once was a young boy

Who took his hand,

In the linen hair,

In the young girls' dreamy eyes,

While in their heart,

Settled the happiness.

There once was these two frantic bodies,

Of happiness, of unparallelled joy.

There once was all the lost dreams,

That replaced their sleepless nights.

There once was a moment,

Where, suddenly, the spring

Resumed their oaths.

Who fled in tears,

To have two broken hearts.

There once was a boy who lived simple,

Working in the suburb.

There once was a girl who cried thinking,

Of her first love.

There was once destiny,

That walked her way,

With occupying anything.

So that there will be lovers.

There will be oaths that last a spring.
