J'aurais voulu danser [English translation]

(I would have liked,

I would have liked,

I would have liked to dance.)

I would have liked to dance,

I would have liked to spin,

until the end of time.

All giddy with joy,

all enthralled with you,

to the rhythm of love.

All night long,

or perhaps for all of life,

at least for the time to get to know one another.

If I had known, I would have

understood as a confession

everything that you said to me

with your eyes.

~~~~~

But ever since then

I still dance in my dreams

with your name on my lips.

I miss you,

your memory surrounds me,

because it was you,

yes you,

love.
