J’ai deux amours (From "Paris qui remue")(original) |
| On dit qu’au delà des mers |
| Là-bas sous le ciel clair |
| Il existe une cité |
| Au séjour enchanté |
| Et sous les grands arbres noirs |
| Chaque soir |
| Vers elle s’en va tout mon espoir |
| J’ai deux amours |
| Mon pays et Paris |
| Par eux toujours |
| Mon cœur est ravi |
| Ma savane est belle |
| Mais à quoi bon le nier |
| Ce qui m’ensorcelle |
| C’est Paris, Paris tout entier |
| Le voir un jour |
| C’est mon rêve joli |
| J’ai deux amours |
| Mon pays et Paris |
| Quand sur la rive parfois |
| Au lointain j’aperçois |
| Un paquebot qui s’en va |
| Vers lui je tends les bras |
| Et le cœur battant d'émoi |
| A mi-voix |
| Doucement je dis «emporte-moi!» |
| J’ai deux amours… |
| (translation) |
| They say that beyond the seas |
| There under the clear sky |
| There is a city |
| At the enchanted stay |
| And under the big black trees |
| Nightly |
| To her goes all my hope |
| I have two loves |
| My country and Paris |
| By them always |
| My heart is delighted |
| My savannah is beautiful |
| But what's the point of denying it |
| What bewitches me |
| It's Paris, all of Paris |
| See him someday |
| It's my pretty dream |
| I have two loves |
| My country and Paris |
| When on the shore sometimes |
| In the distance I see |
| A departing liner |
| To him I stretch out my arms |
| And heart beating with excitement |
| At half-voice |
| Softly I say "take me away!" |
| I have two loves… |
