These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J´ai dit au garçon qui chantait dans ma rue
I told the boy who was singing in my street
Pour les cœurs perdus
For lost hearts
J´ai dit au garçon qui fouillait dans mon cœur
I told the boy who was rummaging through my heart
De sa voix de malheur
From his voice of doom
Chante-moi des chansons d´amour
Sing me love songs
Chante-moi de jolies mélodies
Sing me beautiful melodies
Chante-moi le lever du jour
Sing me the sunrise
Chante-moi la chanson de la vie
Sing me the song of life
Chante, chante mes nuits d´amour
Sing, sing my love nights
Si tu peux, chante le bonheur
If you can, sing happiness
Chante aussi tous les mots d´amour
Also sing all the words of love
Pour que danse le chagrin de mon cœur
For the sorrow of my heart to dance
Et la voix du garçon qui chantait dans ma rue
And the voice of the boy who sang in my street
Pour les cœurs perdus
For lost hearts
A fouillé dans mon cœur pour trouver le bonheur
Searched my heart to find happiness
Alors il a chanté
So he sang
La plus belle chanson d´amour
The most beautiful song of love
J´écoutais la jolie mélodie
I was playing the pretty melody
Et j´ai vu se lever le jour
And I saw the day rise
Et l´amour illuminer ma vie
And love illuminate my life
Il a chanté mes nuits d´amour
He sang my love nights
Il a même chanté le bonheur
He even sang happiness
Et l´amour, faisant un détour
And love, making a detour
A chassé le chagrin de mon cœur
Chased the sorrow out of my heart
