Romance de Paris [English translation]

They were together barely two days

Sometimes there's goodwill in pain

But since they were in love

Their destiny was no longer unhappy

They lived with a strange dream

And this dream was blue like angels

Their love was a true spring, yes!

As pure as their tender twenty years

Chorus:

That's the romance of Paris,

On the street corners it blooms,

It puts love in hearts

A bit of a dream and a blue sky,

This soft refrain of our suburbs

Speaks so gently of love

That the whole world must say:

That's the romance of Paris!

The neighbourhood was truly their sphere

They left at the end of the week

In the woods to gather lily of the valley

Or on a boat to navigate.

They drank in the pubs

White wine fit to make your head spin

And when they gave each other a kiss, yes!

All the dancing couples would say:

[Chorus]

It's here that my story ends,

Will you bother to believe me?

If I tell you that they loved, every day,

That they aged with their tender love;

That they created an praiseworthy family,

And that they had adorable children,

That they died honourably, unknown, yes!

Leaving just as they had come.

[Chorus]
