La place Rouge était blanche

La neige faisait un tapis

Et je suivais par ce froid, dimanche

Elle parlait en phrases sobres

De la révolution d'octobre

Je pensais déjà

Qu'après le tombeau de Lénine

On irait au café Pouchkine
We would go to the Pushkin café
Boire un chocolat

Je lui pris son bras, elle a souri

Il avait des cheveux blonds, mon guide

Dans sa chambre à l'université

Une bande d'étudiants

On a ri, on a beaucoup parlé

Moscou, les plaines d'Ukraine

Et les Champs-Élysées

Et puis ils ont débouché

En riant à l'avance

Du champagne de France

Et quand la chambre fut vide

Et plus question de phrases sobres
And no more sober sentences
Ni de révolution d'octobre

On n'en était plus là
We weren't there anymore
Fini le tombeau de Lénine
No more Lenin's tomb
Le chocolat de chez Pouchkine
Pushkin's chocolate
C'est, c'était loin déjà
It is, it was far away already
Que ma vie me semble vide

Mais je sais qu'un jour à Paris
But I know that one day in Paris
C'est moi qui lui servirai de guide
I will serve as his guide
Nathalie, Nathalie
Nathalie, Nathalie
