ParisT'as l'palpitant à Notre-DameMais l'Amour c'est rue d'AmsterdamQu'on l'achète, pour des picaillons,Mêm' à c'prix là parfois c'est bon
ParisT'as la tête au creux des nuagesLa Tour Eiffel et trois étagesQui scintillent quand arriv' le soirDès fois qu'tu vois tout trop en noir
ParisT'as les pieds au bord de la SeineOù s'noie l’chagrin quand t’as d’la peineSous des vagues de mélancolieAu son des orgu' de Barbarie
ParisT’as les esgourd' qu’ont des bouchonsA caus' de la circulationT’as plus vingt berges et dans ta voixQuand tu gamberges ça n’est plus toi

ParisT'as les poumons dans l' Bois d'VincennesDans l’Bois d'Boulogne des phénomènesQui respirent un parfum d’amour
Qui ne durera pas toujours

ParisDans tes veines y a l'métro qui ramePour écouler tous les quidamsQui s'serrent les coudes au p'tit matinPour s'faufiler jusqu'au turbin
ParisT’as les tripes au Quartier LatinQuand vient l’mois d’Mai et dans la mainTu tiens l'fusil ou bien l' canonA l'heur' de la Révolution
ParisY a tes peintres qui t'font des couleursDes piqu'assiettes qui n'ont pas peurD'impressionner dans les salonsTime is Monet ou Valadon
ParisT'as tant d'amour dans tes chansonsQu'parfois on en perd la raisonQu'on se les siffle à tout bout d'champEt parfois mêm' aux enterr'ments

English translation :

PARIS
ParisYour heart is in Notre DameBut love, it’s in rue d’AmsterdamWhere you buy it for peanuts
ParisYour head is nestled in the cloudsThe Eiffel Tower and its three storiesWhich sparkle as night fallsIf ever you looking on the dark side
ParisYour feet on the bank of the SeineWhere sadness drowns when you’re in painUnder waves of melancholyTo the sound of the barrel organ
Paris,Your ears are blockedBecause of the trafficYou’re no longer twenty and in your voiceI you think about itIt’s no longer you
ParisYour lungs are in the Bois de VincennesAnd in the Bois de Boulogne these creaturesWho breeze a perfume of loveWhich will not last forever
ParisIn your veins there’s the metro striving
To circulate your populationCrushed together in the early morningOn their way to work
ParisYour guts are in the Latin QuarterWhen the month of May comes aroundPistol in your hand or even the canonAt the hour of the Revolution
ParisPainters fill you with coloursScroungers

unafraidTo make an impression in the salonsTime is Monet or Valadon
ParisSo much love in your songsSometimes loosing our heads in themWhistling them at every turnAnd sometimes even at funerals

Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises
Et gai rossignol et merle moqueur
Seront tous en fête
Les belles auront la folie en tête
Et les amoureux du soleil au cœur
Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises
Sifflera bien mieux le merle moqueur

Mais il est bien court le temps des cerises
Où l'on s'en va deux cueillir en rêvant
Des pendants d'oreilles
Cerises d'amour aux robes pareilles
Tombant sous la feuille en gouttes de sang
Mais il est bien court le temps des cerises
Pendants de corail qu'on cueille en rêvantQuand vous en serez au temps des cerises
Si vous avez peur des chagrins d'amour
Evitez les belles
Moi qui ne crains pas les peines cruelles
Je ne vivrai point sans souffrir un jour
Quand vous en serez au temps des cerises
Vous aurez aussi des peines d'amourJ'aimerai toujours le temps des cerises
C'est de ce temps-là que je garde au cœur
Une plaie ouverte
Et Dame Fortune, en m'étant offerte
Ne pourra jamais fermer ma douleur
J'aimerai toujours le temps des cerises
Et le souvenir que je garde au cœur

English translation :
Cherry Time
When we will sing of the cherry timeAnd gay nightingale and mocking blackbirdWill all be happy as locksThe fair ladies will have folly in mindAnd lovers sunshine in their heartsWhen we will sing of the cherry timeThe mocking blackbird will chirp even better
But it’s quite short, the cherry timeWhen the two of us go dreaming as we pickCherry earingsCherries of love in matching dressesFalling under the leaves like drops of bloodBut it is quiet short, the cherry timeCoral pendants we pick while we dream
When you will be in the cherry timeAnd you’re afraid of love’s sadnessAvoid the fair ladiesI not fearing the cruel painsI will live not one day without sufferingWhen you will be in the cherry timeYou too will feel the sadness of love
I will always love the cherry timeIt’s from this time that I keep in my heartAn open woundAnd Lady Fortune being offered to meCould never relieve my painI will always love the cherry timeAnd the memory I keep in my heart

Just me and You
One out of two

I'm fading away, when you're aroundIn so many ways, we're differentAnd I'm spending my timeWaiting for this moment, by your sideDon't you know itI would have give it all up for youI better stop running away
I don't wanna fall
I'm not giving upI just wanna hold you

If you wanna know, how hard it wasSince you’ve been gone, all night long
If you really wanna know, how time can be long And how freezing cold, your mind can beThen just, listen to those words I say And pray for your heart to melt awayIt’s the broken heart lullaby
For you to realize it cries
How many wonders you can put in just one heart This one is broken from the start

Border headlightsTrace of footstepsHanging in the air
Voices rainingEchoes fadingDown you wonder where
Inside timelessFlying weightlessCloser to the eyesSeeing through open window days thatSoon become the night
Holding afterEver and thereTethered to a life
Stones to walk onShades of laughterFalling out behind
Inside timelessFlying weightlessCloser to the eyesSeeing through open window days thatSoon become the night

A blush appears upon her skin like an autumn sky,

When I tell her that our love is like a wish I once had,

A lonely world that makes me turn away from it all,

She reaches out and takes my hand and makes it all gold.

My Love, has fallen like a winter snow,

It covers all,

And brings me home.

Somewhere in your eyes,

A better world a better life.

Somewhere in your eyes,

Oh I was wrong but turned out right.

Somewhere in your eyes,

A loving hand a peaceful mind.

Somewhere in your eyes,

It can’t be wrong it feels so right.

I tend the scars of all the lovers that have darkened your door,

I see the blows that fell like a winter snow,

All the roads I walked all led me to you,

And all the love I held I’m giving to you.

My Love, has fallen like a winter snow,

It covers all,

And brings me home.

Somewhere in your eyes,

A better world a better life.

Somewhere in your eyes,

Oh I was wrong but turned out right.

Somewhere in your eyes,

A loving hand a peaceful mind.

Somewhere in your eyes,

It can’t be wrong it feels so right.

And all the words that go unspoken,

And all the hearts that go unbroken,

My Love for you.

Somewhere in your eyes,

A better world a better life.

Somewhere in your eyes,

Oh I was wrong but turned out right.

Somewhere in your eyes,

A loving hand a peaceful mind.

Somewhere in your eyes,

It can’t be wrong it feels so right.
