Dans la ville endormie
Dalida
In the Sleeping City
Everything fades away around me
When the city falls asleep
I live only for you
When the city falls asleep
All these walls crushed under the roofs
Are just a backdrop
And the nameless streets
That we loved are lifeless now
In the sleeping city
In the sleeping city
Where I still keep watch
Silence chases me when the city falls asleep
I want to fill the night when the city falls asleep
It's just the shadow of your arms and your body
The echo of your voice that vibrates in me, louder and louder
In the sleeping city
In the sleeping city
Where I still keep watch
Your love isn't what you think
It's just a backdrop
But one day will come
When you'll know how to love me harder
In your sleeping heart
In your heart that forgets me
Where I still keep watch
Where I still keep watch
Where I still keep watch
