Mon Amant De Saint Lyrics in English Patrick Bruel

Home / Lyrics Translation / Patrick Bruel / Mon Amant De Saint

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mon Amant De Saint by Patrick Bruel from French to English.

I don't know why she went to dance

At Saint Jean, with the musettes

But when this guy took a kiss from her

She shivered, was caught

How not to lose your mind

Held by daring arms?

Because we always believe in sweet words of love

When they are said with the eyes

She who loved him so much

She found him the most beautiful in Saint Jean

She remained intoxicated

Without will under his kisses

Without thinking anymore, she gave him

The best of her being

Smooth talker every time he lied

She knew it, but she loved him

How not to lose your mind

Held by daring arms?

Because we always believe in sweet words of love

When they are said with the eyes

She who loved him so much

She found him the most beautiful in Saint Jean

She remained intoxicated

Without will under his kisses

But alas, in Saint Jean as elsewhere

A promise is just a deception

She was crazy to believe in happiness

And to want to keep her heart

How not to lose your mind

Held by daring arms?

Because we always believe in sweet words of love

When they are said with the eyes

She who loved him so much

She found him the most beautiful in Saint Jean

She remained intoxicated

Without will under his kisses

She who loved him so much

She found him the most beautiful in Saint Jean

He doesn't love her anymore

It's in the past

Let's not talk about it anymore

He doesn't love her anymore

It's in the past

Let's not talk about it anymore

SONG MEANING

Picture a lively open-air dance in Paris’s Saint-Jean district, accordions breathing out waltz rhythms and summer lights sparkling overhead. A young woman, swept up in the music, meets a dazzling charmer whose confident arms and “sweet words of love” whispered with his eyes make her forget everything else. She finds him the handsomest man in Saint-Jean and, intoxicated by the moment, gives him her heart without hesitation.

Yet this swirl of romance soon spins into disillusion. His silky compliments turn out to be empty promises, and her dream of lasting happiness collapses. Bruel’s version of this classic French tale mixes exhilaration with melancholy, reminding listeners how easy it is to lose your head when passion, music, and hopeful naivety collide—only to discover that some loves vanish with the last note of the dance.
