La belle amour [English translation]

The beautiful love, with an A 1

Big like Paris

You, you don’t have it

You promise me

You promise me

And I, I wait in your eyes2

To see there it is shining, the great reflection

Of the beautiful love that I were dreaming of

Of the beautiful love that you were talking about

When you didn’t have what you wanted

The beautiful love deep in the eyes

That wraps your heart in blue

The beautiful love, [next] to the skin

It keeps you warm when it is cold

The beautiful love to die for

It looks a little bit like a smile

It’s very pretty when it is true

The beautiful love

The truest one

It never came to your mind

That we could really love each other

With our arms full of sun

And then laughters wholeheartedly?

It was not very smart

Say, you just had to hold my hand

So, we could have paid ourselves

The beautiful love until it died

If you knew

How often

I have thought to get the hell out of here

To look for this love

That haunted my days and nights

And then I moved on

I got rid of my illusions

The beautiful love with an A

Big like Paris

And well I, I won’t have it
