L'amour 1830 [English translation]

In the park at the break of day

She wanted us to take a walk

I had to court her

But not love her

But not love her

She started a poem

And she ran off crying

From far away, she shouted to me: "I love you"

In the wind, yes, in the wind

Me, 1830 love

Pathetic, romantic

I found it old-fashioned

Me, 1830 love

I didn't know how to understand it

And I stay unhappy, unhappy

In the park at the break of day

A carriage goes off

It's carrying my love

It's my love that's going off

I kept this blue handkerchief

The souvenir of a poem

And I walk unhappily

How I love her!

How I love her!

Me, 1830 love

Pathetic, romantic

I found it old-fashioned

Me, 1830 love

I didn't know how to understand it

And I stay unhappy, unhappy

I wanted to live in the present

A love of time gone by

When one impedes the wind

The wind can tear everything up

Me, 1830 love

Pathetic, romantic

Pathetic, romantic

Pathetic, romantic

I found it old-fashioned
