These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
C'était le soir d'un quatorze juillet
It was the evening of the fourteenth of July
Quelques lampions qui tremblaient sur un fil
A few lanterns trembling on a wire
Faisaient briller, solitaire et discret
Made them shine, solitary and discreet
Un petit bal au milieu de la ville
A little dance in the middle of the city
REFRAIN
CHORUS
Bal, petit bal
Ball, little ball
Où je t'ai connue
Where I knew you
Souviens-toi
Remember
Tu n'étais pour moi
You were not for me
Ce soir-là
That night
Rien qu'une inconnue
Just a stranger
Bleus ou bien verts
Blue or green
Tes yeux lumineux
Your bright eyes
Sont si clairs
Are so clear
Ils m'ont mis ma tête à l'envers
They turned my head upside down
Sur un air de fête
On a festive note
Je me souviens
I remember
Du patron sympathique
From the friendly boss
Qui discutait politique
Who discussed politics
Avec l'agent flegmatique
With the phlegmatic agent
Et pour nous deux
And for both of us
Un seul musicien
A single musician
Paresseux
Lazy
Et le vent léger
And the light wind
Qui faisait voler tes cheveux
Who made your hair fly
Et quand le dernier lampion s'est éteint
And when the last lantern has gone out
Un grand amour était né dans la ville
A great love was born in the city
C'était le nôtre, dansant au matin
It was ours, dancing in the morning
dans le petit bal devenu tranquille
in the little ball that has become quiet
REFRAIN
CHORUS
Bal, petit bal
Ball, little ball
Où je t'ai connue
Where I knew you
Souviens-toi
Remember
Tu n'était pour moi
You weren't for me
Ce soir-là
That night
Rien qu'une inconnue
Just a stranger
Bleus ou bien verts
Blue or green
Tes yeux lumineux
Your bright eyes
Sont si clairs
Are so clear
Ils m'ont mis la tête à l'envers
They turned my head upside down
Sur un air de fête
On a festive note
mes amis
my friends
Ce fut une belle noce
It was a beautiful wedding
Le patron et ses huits gosses
The boss and his eight kids
Etaient venus en carosse
Had come by carriage
Et maintenant
And now
Nous voilà clients
Here we are customers
Pour longtemps
For a long time
De ce petit bal
Of this little ball
Où l'amour
Where love
Un soir, en dansant
One evening, while dancing
Nous a réunis
Brought us together
Pour toute la vie
For all the life
Nous a réunis
Brought us together
Pour toute la vie
For all the life
