Mais il y a l'accordeon [English translation]

I know the world is a question,

I know that war is a man-made invention,

and that the earth rolls like a ball

beneath men with their ambition filled hearts.

I know the world is made of fiction

I know the sky is made of horizon

be it1 rosy or blue like our illusions

I see the earth is red with passion

But there's an accordion

and the accordion feels so good

when the accordion plays,

it reminds me of France and it feels so good

But there's an accordion

and the accordion feels so good

when the accordion plays,

it reminds me of France.

I know that love has strange paths,

the heart's cries has its sorrows too,

and it turns, turns the wheel of destiny,

happiness always seems to come tomorrow.

But there's an accordion

and the accordion feels so good

when the accordion plays,

it reminds me of France and it feels so good

But there's an accordion

and the accordion feels so good

when the accordion plays,

it reminds me of France.

An old bistro and the smell of chips,

a glass of wine, come, I invite you

to forget and to flee

from your problems, their sorrows and consequences.

And there's an accordion

and the accordion feels so good

when the accordion plays,

it reminds me of France and it feels so good

And there's an accordion

and the accordion feels so good

when the accordion plays,

it reminds me of France.
