Il est venu le temps de l'amour automne,le temps de l'insouciance et des rires perdus, il a soufflé le vent des soirs monotones et lents l'amour automne, est venu doucement. Il est si froid le temps de l'amour hiver, quand plus rien ne se crée et que tout se perd la neige a recouvert princesses et chevaliers blancs l'amour hiver a glacé les amants Comme il est loin le temps de l'amour printemps, son parfum éphémère, ses manèges d'antan il dure qu'un instant, et puis, il est derrière l'amour printemps, c'est celui des enfants. English translation :AUTUMN LOVE
Came the time of autumn love, The time of nonchalance and lost laughter, The wind blew in the slow monotonous evenings Autumn love came slowly. The time of winter love is so cold, When nothing grows and all is lost The snow covered princesses and white knights Winter love froze lovers
How far away is the time of spring love, Its ephemeral fragrance, the fairground rides of yesteryear It lasts only a moment, and then, it is passed Spring love is the Love of children.

Un reflet de vous dans la vitrineEt mon cœur soudain se ranimeComme au ciné ou dans les magazinesUn reflet de vousVos yeux qui m’entraînentVotre charme de ParisienneVotre silhouette sur la mienneUn reflet de vous,Votre taille fineDéjà je vous imagine...Au volant de votre DauphineEntre Paris et Morzine
Un reflet de vous dans la vitrineEt mon cœur soudain s’illumineDu bout des yeux je vous devineUn sourire de vous,Vos fines moustachesQui se reflètent dans la glaceEt ce bonheur qui me dépasseUn veston croisé,Le regard en coinVotre charme parisienUn reflet de vous, je vous vois sur l’heureFringant sur votre scooter
Un reflet de nousDedans la vitrineLe destin qui se dessineAu volant d’une limousineNous partirons pour la Chine(Adieu, partons pour la Chine)

On croise à ParisDe Montmartre à Saint LouisDes amours transis sous un même parapluieOn les voit qui s'enlacent sur le pont des Arts,On les voit qui s'embrassentSur un quai de gare.
Paris, encore, Paris, toujours,Petits trésors et grand amour.Paris, encore, Paris, toujours,Paris, la nuit, Paris, le jour.
Emmène moi au bal que l'on donne à minuit,Fais-moi voir les étoiles, dansons tout' la nuitSous cent mille lumières,Fais-moi tourner encore,Fais-moi quitter la terre pour des nuages d'or
English translation : PARIS TOUJOURS In Paris from Montmartre to Saint LouisWe see lovers fixed under a single umbrellaWe see them entwined on the Pont des Arts,We see them kiss On a station platform

Il y aura toujours un p'tit air de rengaineAu fond d'une cour, sur les bords de la SeineUn refrain qui conjugue l'amourEt puisLes amants de ParisIl y aura toujours une frêle guinguettePour danser à deux, pour s'aimer en cachetteUn hôtel à trois pas du faubourgOù l'on confond la nuit et le jour Il est au fin fond d’une impasseUne maison où l'on s'enlaceA l'abri des sombres regardsDes bourgeois qui passent le soirIl n'y a même pas de terrasseMais chacun y trouve sa placeEt dans un coin l'accordéonOffre alors à chacun sa chanson
English translation : There will always be There will always beA little old songIn a courtyard, on the banks of the SeineA refrain which bindsAmour with the lovers of ParisThere will always beA creaky guingetteTo dance together, to love in secretAn hotel stone’s throw from the faubourgWhen night and day entwine Down the end of an alleyA house where we entwineAway from the dark looksOf the bourgeoisie passing by in the eveningThere is not even a terraceBut everyone can find their placeAnd in a corner the accordionOffers each their song

FOR BETTER OR WORSEOne more day to wake up with the sunStarring at the steam of his hot coffee behind him his family He’s been trying, trying hard but there’s no mercyIt’s one more day to accept his destinyIf it’s cold outside, if he’s burning inside No dreams and no needs He’s gotta carry on For better or worse, he would keep on Dealing with hopes and blames For better or worse, he’ll just carry on Never reviving the flame Frozen in the daily game For better or worse. One more day to stand up with the sun She doesn’t even know if she slept last night The pills are no longer workin’ so right One more day to fight, to fight with her own mind Dizzy, empty, it’s freezing inside The rooms don’t change, but the complain remains Hoping of tomorrow and a new beginning Today again she’ll end, sittin in the dark And carry on. For better or worse, they would keep on Dealing with hopes and blames For better or worse, they just carry on Never reviving the flame Frozen in the daily game One more day to head home with the risin’ sun Like any other night she ran after the money The black sunglasses can’t hide you honeyOne more day she’ll sleep away, she’ll sleep away her life The smell of the strangers like a thousand knives Cause she believed so wrong, her youth is runnin’She can’t find the right path, though her bell is ringin’ So she swears that the next day, she’ll new begin But she’ll carry on.. For better or worse, they would keep on Dealing with hopes and blames For better or worse, they carry on Never reviving the flame Frozen in the daily game I see them every morning, everyday Did they ever know what it is to live for? Have they ever seen the true picture or Will they ever remember what their dreams were…For better or worse, they would keep on Dealing with hopes and blames For better or worse, they just keep on Never reviving the flame Frozen in the daily game For better or worse.
