Madeleine qui avait du coeur
Édith Piaf
Madeleine with a Heart
She had a peaceful soul
And the innocence of angels
They called her Madeleine
She had a big heart
On the day she was born
It rained, the sky was low
She had a really sad childhood
Because her parents didn’t love her
She prayed with innocence
As if trying to apologize
My God, forgive our childhood
And those who brought us into this world
She had a peaceful soul
And the innocence of angels
They called her Madeleine
She had a big heart
As she grew up, this naive girl
Felt her heart grow too
These things just happen
A good heart is never small
As she grew up, this naive girl
Had tons and tons of lovers
These things just happen
When your heart is so big
Her soul was full of love
She was pure and innocent
They called her Madeleine
She had a big heart
She was fragile and gentle
And never knew how to say no
But she had a fragile heart
And a heart wears out from too much love
She was fragile and gentle
And lived only for love
But that big heart, so fragile
It stopped forever
Ring bells, ding dong, chime
Night from the sky wilts the flowers
She’s gone, Madeleine
From a heart disease
