Bal dans ma rue [English translation]

Tonight, there's a ball in my street.

Never before had there been

Such joy, such a crowd.

There's a ball on my street

And, in the little bistro

Where joy is flowing,

Seven musicians perched on a trestle

Play for the lovers,

That come here in pairs,

The laughter's on their lips and eyes to eyes.

Tonight there's a ball in my street.

Everyone feels a little excited.

Maybe a little drunk.

There's a ball in my street.

He was so beautiful when he took me out,

Soon everyone turned to him.

I was so proud of him, I could not resist

To my best friend, one day I presented him.

They immediately liked each other

They were married this morning.

They were an amazing couple

And I was a witness...

And that's why...

Tonight, there's a ball in my street.

Never before had there been

Such joy, such a crowd.

There's a ball on my street

And, in the little bistro

Where joy is flowing,

Seven musicians perched on a trestle

Play for the lovers,

That come here in pairs,

The laughter's on their lips and eyes to eyes.

Tonight there's a ball in my street.

Everyone feels a little excited.

Maybe a little drunk.

There's a ball in my street...

There was a ball in my street...
