J'ai deux amours

They say that beyond the seas
Over there under the clear sky
There exists a city
In a magical place
And under the big black trees
Every evening
All my hope goes there

I have two loves
My country and Paris
Through them always
My heart is thrilled
My savanna is beautiful
But why deny it
What enchants me
Is Paris, Paris
All of it
To see it one day
Is my pretty dream
I have two loves
My country and Paris
When on the shore sometimes
In the distance I catch sight
Of a cruise ship sailing away
I reach out my arms to it
And with my heart racing in excitement
In a soft voice
I gently say, take me away
I have two loves....
