Le ballet des coeurs

Édith Piaf Édith Piaf

The Dance of Hearts

In a corner of the city
There's a heart that's at peace
That sways, that sways
On the other side of town
There's a lonely heart
That moves forward, that moves forward
These two hearts, it seems
Are like dancers in a ballet
That leap, that leap
They get close, they pull away
They cross paths, they part ways
And they dance!

But one day
On tiptoes, it appears
And gliding like on velvet
The greatest ballet master
It's love! It's love! It's love!...

And love brings together
The two blossoming hearts
That leap, that leap
Spinning, beating
A pas de deux all the time
How they dance! How they dance!
Smiles and joys
Drumbeat every time
In rhythm, in rhythm
Unleashed, passionate
Pounded, collapsed
They move forward…

Then a third one
Appears, and likewise
He moves forward, he moves forward…
They call him "pretty heart"
He separates the two hearts
In silence… in silence…
Split and challenge
Turnaround, jealousy
That begins, that begins
And then it all starts again
There are two hearts that leap
In the dance…

Possession, impatience…
A heart killed, trampled...
And then it all starts again
There are two hearts that leap
In the dance…
