Paris Sera Toujours Paris Lyrics in English Maurice Chevalier

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paris Sera Toujours Paris by Maurice Chevalier from French to English.
1. Par précaution on a beau mettre
1. As a precaution, no matter how many bars we put
Des croisillons à nos fenêtres
On our windows
Passer au bleu nos devantures
Paint our storefronts blue
Et jusqu'aux pneus de nos voitures
And even the tires of our cars
Désentoiler tous nos musées
Uncover all our museums
Chambouler les Champs Elysées
Disrupt the Champs Elysées
Emmailloter de terre battue
Wrap in clay
Toutes les beautés de nos statues
All the beauties of our statues
Voiler le soir les réverbères
Cover the streetlights at night
Plonger dans le noir la ville lumière
Plunge the City of Light into darkness
{Refrain:}
{Chorus:}
Paris sera toujours Paris
Paris will always be Paris
La plus belle ville do monde
The most beautiful city in the world
Malgré l'obscurité profonde
Despite the deep darkness
Son éclat ne peut être assombri
Its brilliance cannot be dimmed
Paris sera toujours Paris
Paris will always be Paris
Plus on réduit son éclairage
The more we reduce its lighting
Plus on voit briller son courage
The more we see its courage shine
Plus on voit briller son esprit
The more we see its spirit shine
Paris sera toujours Paris
Paris will always be Paris
2. Pour qu'à ce bruit chacun s'entraîne
2 So that everyone can practice this noise
On peut la nuit jouer d'la sirène
2. So that everyone gets used to this noise
Nous contraindre à faire le zouave
We can play the siren at night
En pyjama dans notre cave
Force us to act like fools
On aura beau par des ukases
In our pajamas in our basement
Nous couper l'veau et même le jazz
No matter how many decrees
Nous imposer le masque à gaz
Cut off our veal and even jazz
Des mots croisés à quatre cases
Impose gas masks on us
Nous obliger dans nos demeures
Crossword puzzles with four squares
A nous coucher tous à onze heures
Force us in our homes
{Refrain:}
To all go to bed at eleven o'clock
Paris sera toujours Paris
{Chorus:}
La plus belle ville do monde
Paris will always be Paris
Et quand les restrictions abondent
The most beautiful city in the world
Gentiment il en prend son parti
And when restrictions abound
Paris sera toujours Paris
It takes it in stride, kindly
On a beau réduire son essence
Paris will always be Paris
On n'réduira pas sa confiance
No matter how much we reduce its essence
Sa bonne humeur et son esprit
We will not reduce its confidence
Paris sera toujours Paris
Its good mood and its spirit
3. Bien que ma foi, depuis octobre
Paris will always be Paris
Les robes soient beaucoup plus sobres
The dresses are much more sober
Qu'il why ait moins d'fleurs et moins d'aigrettes
3. Although, in my faith, since October
Que les couleurs soient plus discrètes
The dresses have become much more sober
Bien qu'aux galas on élimine
That there are fewer flowers and fewer plumes
Les chinchillas et les hermines
That the colors are more discreet
Que les bijoux pleins de décence
Although at galas, we eliminate
Brillent surtout par leur absence
Chinchillas and ermines
Que la beauté soit moins voyante
That the decently filled jewelry
Moins effrontée moins provocante
Shine mostly by their absence
{Refrain:}
That beauty is less showy
Paris sera toujours Paris
Less brazen, less provocative
La plus belle ville do monde
{Chorus:}
Même quand au loin le canon gronde
Paris will always be Paris
Sa tenue est encore plus jolie
The most beautiful city in the world
Paris sera toujours Paris
Even when the cannon roars in the distance
On peut limiter ses dépenses
Its appearance is even more beautiful
Sa distinction son élégance
Paris will always be Paris
N'en ont alors que plus de prix
We can limit our expenses
Paris sera toujours Paris
Its distinction, its elegance
