Parlez-moi d'amour [English translation]

Speak to me of love;

say tender things to me over and over.

Your beautiful words—

my heart never tires of them—

as long as you always

repeat the most important ones:

”I love you.”

You know well that,

in the end, I will believe none of it.

But, no matter, I still want

to hear that word I adore.

Your voice in a loving tone

that whispers as it trembles,

cradles me in its beautiful story

that, despite myself, I want to believe.

(Refrain)

It is so sweet,

my treasure, to be a bit of a fool.

Life is at times too bitter

if we do not believe in illusions.

Disappointment quickly passes

and is consoled with a kiss.

One heals a wounded heart

with an oath that reassures it.

(Refrain)
