Champs Elysées Lyrics in English Zaz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Champs Elysées by Zaz from French to English.
I was strolling down the avenue, heart wide open to the unknown
I felt like saying hello to anybody
Anybody, and it was you, I told you just anything
All it took was talking to you to win you over
On the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
You told me "I've got a date in a basement with some crazies
Who live with a guitar in hand, from evening till morning"
So I went with you, we sang, we danced
And we didn't even think about kissing
On the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
Last night two strangers and this morning on the avenue
Two lovers all dizzy from the long night
And from the Étoile to the Concorde, an orchestra with a thousand strings
All the birds at break of day sing love
On the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
On the Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain, or at midnight
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées

SONG MEANING

Picture yourself strolling down Paris’s most famous boulevard, the Champs-Elysées, with an open heart and a curious smile. The singer starts her walk ready to greet anyone, and fate answers when she bumps into a stranger who quickly feels like a friend. Together they dive into the lively underground music scene, singing and dancing until they forget everything else. The repeating chorus reminds us that the Champs-Elysées has “everything you want” — rain or shine, noon or midnight — turning the avenue into a symbol of endless possibilities.

By sunrise, two complete strangers have become a dizzy pair of new lovers, surrounded by birds, street musicians, and the magic of Paris. The song celebrates spontaneity, music, and the simple joy of meeting someone who changes your day, or even your life. Listening to it feels like taking a joyful, carefree walk where every corner holds a new adventure — proof that romance and wonder can bloom at any moment on the Champs-Elysées.
