Translation of the song lyrics La ballet des coeurs - Édith Piaf

La ballet des coeurs (original)

Dans un coin de la ville,
' y a un c?
ur bien tranquille
Qui se balance, qui se balance.
A l’autre bout de la cit?,
' y a un c?
ur isol?
Qui s’avance, qui s’avance.
Ces deux c?
urs, on dirait
Deux danseurs d’un ballet
Qui s'?lancent, qui s'?lancent.
Ils s’approchent, ils s'?cartent,
Ils se croisent, ils repartent
Et ils dansent !
Mais un jour,
Sur la pointe des pieds, appara?
t,
Et glissant comme sur du velours,
Le plus grand des ma?
tres de ballet.
C’est l’amour !
C’est l’amour !
C’est l’amour …
Et l’amour r?
unit
Les deux c?
urs ?panouis
Qui s'?lancent, qui s'?lancent.
Moulinets, battements,
Pas de deux tout le temps,
Comme ils dansent !
Comme ils dansent !
Les sourires et les joies
Tambourinent chaque fois
En cadence, en cadence,
D?
cha?n?s, passionn?
s Martel?
s, affaiss?
s,
Ils s’avancent…
C’est alors qu’un troisi?
me Appara?
t, et de m?
me Il s’avance, il s’avance…
On l’appelle «joli c?
ur».
Il s?
pare les deux c?
urs
En silence… en silence…
Grand?
cart et d?
fi,
Volte-face, jalousie
Qui commence, qui commence
Et puis tout recommence:
' y a deux c?
urs qui s'?lancent
Dans la danse…
…Possession, impatience…
…Un c?
ur tu?, pi?
tin…
Et puis tout recommence:
' y a deux c?
urs qui s'?lancent
Dans la danse…

(translation)

In a corner of town,
'there's a c?
ur very quiet
Who swings, who swings.
At the other end of the city,
'there's a c?
Are you isolated?
Who advances, who advances.
These two
urs, looks like
Two dancers of a ballet
Who launch themselves, who launch themselves.
They approach, they depart,
They cross, they leave
And they dance!
But someday,
On tiptoe, appears?
you,
And slipping like velvet,
The greatest of my?
very ballet.
It's love !
It's love !
It's love …
And love r?
unite
The two c?
urs ?blooming
Who launch themselves, who launch themselves.
Reels, beats,
No two all the time,
How they dance!
How they dance!
The smiles and the joys
Drum every time
In cadence, in cadence,
D?
chained, passionate
s Martel?
s, sagging?
s,
They advance...
It is then that a threei?
Appeared to me?
t, and m?
me It comes forward, it comes forward...
It is called “pretty c?
ur».
They?
parry both c?
bear
In silence... in silence...
Big?
cart and d?
fi,
Turnaround, jealousy
Who starts, who starts
And then it all starts again:
'there are two c?
bears who launch
In the dance...
…Possession, impatience…
…A C?
ur you?, pi?
huh…
And then it all starts again:
'there are two c?
bears who launch
In the dance...
