Le Val d'Amour [English translation]

At the top of St Denis Street

There exists a blessed place

Where we see candles shining

At the fall of the day

There in the middle of the plain

It suffices to come there one day

Because you will remember it always

At the cabaret of the valley of love

(Chorus)

At the valley of love

The women of love

Make love to you

For a small sum

No need for gold

Or for jewels

No discussion

Nor sweet words

Only a small sum

To make love

To the women of love

In the valley of love

Andalucians, Jews, Moors

Come there from every port

Travellers and merchants

Come there to relax in passing

Catalans and Flemings

Go there to burn all their money

Women of love who listen to me

It's the duscussion of a troubadour

Who comes to cry of his heart ache

At the cabaret of the Valley of love

Beat the tambourine

To the surroundings

Who will come running

To the valley of love

No danger

That one will fall enamoured

Under the finery

Of the valley of love

You will find

Under the velvet

Flowers of a night

Happiness of a day

(Phoebus)

When my body is heartbroken

Above all I run to the valley of love

I enver heave before dawn

From the cabaret of the Valley of Love

Misses, excuse men

I am waiting for the beautiful Esmerelda

She believed to read her destiny

Between the lines on my hand

(Gringoire)

The north door

n the Faubourgs

At the crossroad

With Popincourt

All the scoundrels

And the crooks

Have met there

At the Valley of Love

The Men of Court

Dishounour themselves there

We see them drunk

And deadly pissed

(Chorus)

No need for gold

Or for jewels

No discussion

Nor sweet words

Only a small sum

To make love

To the women of love

At the Valley of Love
