Le premier rendez-vous [English translation]

Ah—how sweet and disturbing it must be—

that moment on the first date,

when the heart, tired of beating alone,

flies away in a thrill towards the mystery.

You, stranger of a crazed dream,

bring about for us

the happiness of loving for an entire life

at that moment of the first date.

When Old Man Time on a beautiful spring day

made from a simple child almost a woman.

In the blue dream of a happy future,

closing her eyes, she sighs in the depths of her soul.

Ah—how sweet and disturbing it must be—

that moment on the first date,

when the heart, tired of beating alone,

flies away in a thrill towards the mystery.

You, stranger of a crazed dream,

bring about for us

the happiness of loving for an entire life

at that moment of the first date..
