L'orgue des amoureux

A dusty old street organ
Came to play the other day
Right outside my window, in the yard
An old love song on display
And to keep things, nothing to change,
Love rhymed with forever.
Listening to that romance
That reminded me of the past,
I thought I had enough at last
But oh, alas, it all starts again,
Oh, alas, it all began again,
Oh, alas, it all began again.

I gave you my heart.
I gave you my life
And my soul, so alive,
Despite your mocking stare,
Let’s all sing in the air,
It’s yours for life.

It’s true, when I think back,
That I loved you madly,
And no lover ever caused me
More pain and agony,
But here’s my reward, I guess,
For believing in your promises.
It took just one adventure,
More ordinary, it’s true,
For one fine evening, without a clue,
You followed your nature.
I didn’t deserve that.
I didn’t deserve that.

I gave you my heart.
I gave you my life
And my soul, so alive,
Despite your mocking stare,
Let’s all sing in the air,
It’s yours for life.

What can we do against ourselves?
Each of us walks our own path.
It’s the fate of all mankind
But those who walk hand in hand
Whispering softly, "I love you,"
Should think about what’s ahead
To a sad little tune
Whose echo quickly flew away.
The organ finally left
And, forgiving the unfaithful,
I sang to console myself,
I sang to console myself.

I gave you my heart.
I gave you my life
And my soul, so alive,
Despite your mocking stare,
Let’s all sing in the air,
It’s yours for life.
I gave you my heart, I gave you my life…
