Toi que je veux [English translation]

It's you whom I want

Already I can't take my eyes

off you anymore

And I could make you

a happy man

and since it's you whom I want

I left my green years for my warm years

like a rose under the rain

I opened myself today to life

but already the brass bands and bugles there

shout to me not to see you anymore

and they point their fingers at me

But there will come a day when we have to separate

I feel so good in your arms

It's you who I want

Already I can't take my eyes

off you anymore

And I could make you

a happy man

and since it's me whom you want

I tell you, stay faithful to me

As long as you find

that I give you a bit of paradise

that I am beautiful as long as you love me

But I hear the brass bands that come back again

to tell me that sooner or later

our love will be dead

But there will come a day when we have to separate

I feel so good in your arms

It's you who I want

Already I can't take my eyes

off you anymore

And I could make you

a happy man

and since it's me whom you want

They tell me

that I am too young for eternal love

that in your arms every night

I am in hell when I believe I'm in heaven

But I hear the brass bands that come back

and they watch us to see

the end of our love

If there really must come a day when we have to separate

That day is not today

because neither the bugles nor the brass bands

will ever change my life

It's you whom I want

And I can no longer

takes my eyes off you
