La romance de Paris [English translation]

They were loving each other for just two days

there's sometimes some happiness in suffering

but since they were in love

their fate wasn't unhappy anymore

they lived on a strange dream

and this dream was blue like the angels

their love was a real springtime, yes

as pure as their tender twenty years

[Chorus:]

It's the romance of Paris

it blooms at the corner of streets

that puts in the heart of lovers

a trifle of a dream and of a blue sky

this sweet refrain of our suburbs

speaks so gently of love

that everyone is crazy about it:

it's the romance of Paris!

The suburb was their actual hang out

at the weekend they were going

to the woods to pick may lilies

or sailing on a boat.

They were also drinking in pubs

white wine that makes your head spin

and when they kissed each other, yes

all the couples while dancing were discussing:

(chorus)

This is where my story ends

would you find it hard to believe me

if I told you that they loved each other every single day

that they grew old with their tender love

that they built an admirable family

and that they had adorable children

that they died gently, nameless, yes

departing just as they had come

(chorus)
