La rue aux chansons

It's the street of songs
It's the street of joy
Where in every house
Without rhyme or reason
We sing out loud
From the break of dawn
Everyone's feeling good
And each in their turn
In the gray of the suburbs
Invents the blue sky
You won't find here
Unhappy loves
We love, we don't love
We kiss, then we go
We sing, and that's that
You, the disenchanted
Who cry for no reason
To learn how to sing
Come all live
In the street of songs

We'll squeeze in
Just a little bit
There's room for three
When there's room for two
Luxury and comfort, we don't care
No need for that in the street of cicadas

It's the street of songs
It's the street of joy
Where in every house
Without rhyme or reason
We sing out loud
From the break of dawn
Everyone's feeling good
And each in their turn
In the gray of the suburbs
Invents the blue sky
You won't find here
Unhappy loves
We love, we don't love
We kiss, then we go
We sing, and that's that
You, the disenchanted
Who cry for no reason
To learn how to sing
Come all live
In the street of songs

We'll squeeze in
Just a little bit
There's room for three
When there's room for two
Luxury and comfort, we don't care
No need for that in the street of cicadas.
