No one else around
Could lift me from the ground.
I’d lie here safe and sound
Like I had got nowhere to go.
Faith had come and gone,
Left nothing but a song
The world keeps rolling on and on and on.

But all I saw was you once more
And all my thoughts came flooding.

All that I had dreamed
Was always you and me.
You are all I’d ever want
All I’d ever want making memories.
All that we had seen
And all this left between
You are all I’d ever want
All I’d ever want standing next to me.

No one else besides
Could see me from the sky
You’d lift me, my oh my
And fly me off to worlds above.
Finally, it seems
You’re all I’d ever need
And I’ll that I had dreamed was rolling on and on and on.

Quand elle était p'tite

Le soir elle allait

À Sainte-Marguerite

Où qu'a s'dessalait

Maint'nant qu'elle est grande

Elle marche, le soir,

Avec ceux d'la bande

À la Bastille on aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

Elle est si bonne et si gentille!

On aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

À la Bastille.
Elle a la peau douce

Aux taches de son

À l'odeur de rousse

Qui donne un frissonEt de sa prunelle
Aux tons vert-de-gris

L'amour étincelle

Dans ses yeux d'souris.
À la Bastille on aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

Elle est si bonne et si gentille!

On aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

À la Bastille.

Quand le soleil brille

Dans ses cheveux roux

L'génie d'la Bastille

Lui fait les yeux doux

Et quand a s'promène

Du bout d'l'Arsenal

Tout l'quartier s'amène

Au coin du Canal.
À la Bastille on aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

Elle est si bonne et si gentille!

On aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

À la Bastille.

Mais celui qu'elle aime

Qu'elle a dans la peau

C'est Bibi-la-Crème

Parc' qu'il est costaudParc' que c'est un homme

Qui n'a pas l'foie blanc

Aussi faut voir comme

Nini l'a dans l'sang.
À la Bastille on aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

Elle est si bonne et si gentille!

On aime bien

Nini Peau d'chien

À la Bastille.

At the Bastille we like herNini Peau d’ChienShe is so nice, so kindWe likeNini Peau d’ChienAt the Bastille
She has soft skinWith frecklesAnd a red hair fragranceTo make you shiverAnd from her green-grey pupilsLove’s sparklesIn her young girl’s eyes
When the sun is shiningIn her red hairLe Génie de la BastilleMakes eyes at herAnd when she walksFrom the end of the ArsenalThe Whole neighbourhood arrivesAt the corner of the Canal.
But the one she lovesWho gets under her skinIs Bibi-la-CrèmeBecause he is a tough guy
Because he is a manWho’s not lily liveredWords can’t sayHow deep in her heart he’s become
