Merci mon ami [English translation]

No-one In the moment knows if it's happiness or sadness.

What life gives and takes,

Sometimes it's only chance,

Occasionally it's set out for us.

And I believe firmly, that one can feel it,

Somewhere within one's heart.

For suddenly, today, I sense

That I am really happy.

Merci mon ami, it was wonderful.

A thousand things I'd like to say to you.

Darling we must see each other again,

It was so beautiful.

Perhaps today you cannot fully understand me.

Next time ask me everything,

Don't let it be too long,

It was so beautiful.

It is so simple,

A little word, just a kiss, an endearment.

More is not required,

Then are hours like seconds.

Merci mon ami, it was wonderful.

Ever again will I tell you,

Darling we must see each other again,

It was so beautiful. (x2)
