Les Champs-Élysées [English translation]

I have walked along the avenue

The heart opened for the unknown

I wished to say: good morning

No matter whom

No matter who you were

I told you no matter what

It was enough talking to you

For taming you.

At the Champs- Élysées

At the Champs- Élysées

In the sun, under the rain

At noon or at midnight

There is everything you want

At the Champs- Élysées

You told me: „I have a date

In abasement with the madmen

Who spend with the guitar in the hand

From evening to morning.”

So, i have accompanied you

We sang, we danced

And we weren’t even thinking

Of kissing.

At the Champs- Élysées

At the Champs- Élysées

In the sun, under the rain

At noon or at midnight

There is everything you want

At the Champs- Élysées

Yesterday evening, two strangers

And this morning, on the avenue

Two lovers, all dazed

From the long night

And from the Étoile to Concorde

An orchestra with thousand strings

All the birds of the point of the day

Sing the love.

At the Champs- Élysées

At the Champs- Élysées

In the sun, under the rain

At noon or at midnight

There is everything you want

At the Champs- Élysées
