Merci mon ami [English translation]

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

What life gives and takes,

Sometimes it's only chance,

Occasionally it's our destiny.

And I believe firmly, that one can feel it,

Somewhere within one's heart.

For suddenly, today, I feel

That I am really happy.

Merci mon ami, it was wonderful.

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

Darling we have to meet again,

It was so beautiful.

Perhaps today you can't completely understand me.

Next time let me ask everything,

Don't let too much time go by,

It was so beautiful.

It is so simple,

Just a little word, just a kiss, just you.

We don't need more,

For the hours are like seconds.

Merci mon ami, it was wonderful.

Over and over again I'll say it to you,

Darling we have to meet again,

It was so beautiful. (x2)
