Sa grande passion [English translation]

My best friend—that's the way it goes—

told me last night that she came to see me

to tell me that she finally has fallen in love.

She told me the name of her great love.

She spoke to me and I listened carefully to her.

She said she was very much loved by him—

that they were in love madly and hopelessly.

She told me the name of her great love.

For my part, I had tears in my eyes when she spoke.

She left me by saying adieu

and I still hear the words that she said to me,

but I can only cry for her.

Because the other day, that gentleman,

I was the one in his arms.

He swore to me that I was his only love.

I knew the name of her great love.

For my part, I had tears in my eyes when she spoke.

She left me by saying adieu

and I still hear the words that she said to me,

but I can only cry for her.

Because the other day, in his arms,

he swore to me a hundred times, that gentleman,

that I was his only love.

I knew the name of her great love—

and it was the same one who said to me "I love you" —

and it was the same one who said to me "I love you" —

and it was the same one who said to me "I love you"...
