Mon Amant De Saint Lyrics in English Patrick Bruel

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 dancing
At Saint-Jean, at the musette dances
But when that guy stole a kiss from her
She shivered, was smitten
How could you not lose your head
Held tight by those daring arms?
'Cause you always believe the sweet words of love
When they're spoken with the eyes
She who loved him so
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
She stayed intoxicated
Powerless under his kisses
No longer thinking, she gave him
The best of herself
Smooth-talker every time he lied
She knew it, but she loved him
How could you not lose your head
Held tight by those daring arms?
'Cause you always believe the sweet words of love
When they're spoken with the eyes
She who loved him so
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
She stayed intoxicated
Powerless under his kisses
But alas, in Saint-Jean like elsewhere
A vow is just a sham
She was crazy to believe in happiness
And to want to keep her heart
How could you not lose your head
Held tight by those daring arms?
'Cause you always believe the sweet words of love
When they're spoken with the eyes
She who loved him so
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
She stayed intoxicated
Powerless under his kisses
She who loved him so
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
He doesn't love her anymore
That's in the past
Let's not talk about it anymore
He doesn't love her anymore
That'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.
