These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
On dit qu'au delà des mers
They say that beyond the seas
Là-bas sous le ciel clair
There under the clear sky
Il existe une cité
There is a city
Au séjour enchanté
To the enchanted stay
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
And under the big black trees
Vers elle s'en va tout mon espoir
Towards her goes all my hope
J'ai deux amours
I have two loves
Mon pays et Paris
My country and Paris
Par eux toujours
By them always
Mon cœur est ravi
My heart is delighted
Ma savane est belle
My savannah is beautiful
Mais à quoi bon le nier
But what's the point of denying it?
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
What bewitches me
C'est Paris, Paris tout entier
It's Paris, all of Paris
Le voir un jour
See him one day
C'est mon rêve joli
It's my pretty dream
J'ai deux amours
I have two loves
Mon pays et Paris
My country and Paris
Quand sur la rive parfois
When on the shore sometimes
Au lointain j'aperçois
In the distance I see
Un paquebot qui s'en va
A liner that is leaving
Vers lui je tends les bras
Towards him I stretch my arms
Et le cœur battant d'émoi
And the heart beating with emotion
Doucement je dis 'Emporte-moi!'
Softly I say 'Take me away!'
J'ai deux amours
I have two loves
Ton pays et Paris
Your country and Paris
Par eux toujours
By them always
Ton cœur est ravi
Your heart is delighted
Ta savane est belle
Your savannah is beautiful
Mais à quoi bon le nier
But what's the point of denying it?
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
What bewitches me
C'est Paris, Paris tout entier
It's Paris, all of Paris
Le voir un jour
See him one day
C'est ton rêve joli
It's your pretty dream
J'ai deux amours
I have two loves
Mon pays et Paris
My country and Paris
