C'était Un Jour De Fête
Édith Piaf
It was a holiday
It was a day of celebration
I think it was spring
It made my head spin
I had just turned twenty
He told me I was beautiful
Maybe to please me
Told me some refrains
With a beautiful smile
He gave me caresses
He swore to me
What he made to me about promises
Before becoming my lover
He gave me a lot of drunkenness
Swore to love me all the time
So I gave my youth
This is how you waste your twenties
We moved in together
In the Saint-D'nis suburb
Beau Rivage Hotel
It smelled good in Paris
It's on the sixth floor
That I knew love
You're talking about a trip
And what a lovely stay!
He gave me caresses
He swore to me
What he made to me about promises
Before becoming my lover
He gave me a lot of drunkenness
Swore to love me all the time
So I gave my youth
This is how you waste your twenties
These stories last
How long it must last
My little adventure
Alas is over
The beautiful journey is over
Here I am back
The Beau Rivage Hotel
Kept my loves
He gave me caresses
He swore to me
What he made to me about promises
Before becoming my lover
He gave me a lot of drunkenness
Swore to love me all the time
So I gave my youth
This is how you waste your twenties
