On danse sur ma chanson [English translation]

i wanted to finish the song

that spring had begun

but you are no longer at home

and the flowers are all blossoming

i should have sang like the poets

with big words our beautiful love

but i did not know, my song is done

Of all small words, these of all the days.

I took all that I said

Love, oath, always, never,

Tenderness

On the splendor of our mornings

and on the softness of your hands

Caresses,

I have built beautiful memories

With the taste of my desires.

When, proud of your victorious smile

and your little bit of mocking

When you pose there on my heart

Your lips.

yes, I had to, on an old piano

look for the air that I liked hearing

and who cried like a sob

But no one had to understand

Because this song that I thought

To sing the love that was so sweet

I hear it everywhere like an air of party

And the people have the air of laughter of us

Because, on the words that you were saying:

Love, oath, always, never

We dance

On the splendor of our mornings

And on the softness of your hands

We dance

On the prettiest memories

And on the taste of my desire,

We dance,

And on your victorious smile,

And on your little bit of mocking,

And on the penalty of my heart,

We dance.

Since, on the air that i liked so,

That you sang so sadly,

We dance,

Since nobody understood,

That, on the words that you said to me,

We dance

It is that this love is so deep,

Was not worth a song

I think...

So, i wanted to forget you.

Someone taught me to dance

And now on the go,

I dance,

I dance...
