Un refrain courait dans la rue

Édith Piaf Édith Piaf

A Tune Ran Through the Street

In love, there's gotta be pride
Knowing when to keep quiet, dignity inside
Knowing when to leave at the right time
Hiding your pain with a smile, feeling fine
And I thought as I walked along
That I had left before it went wrong
If my heart is feeling despair
It won't have seen me shed a tear

A tune ran through the street
Bumping into passersby
Weaving through the crowd, so sweet
With a catchy little vibe
I was right in its path
It stopped right in front of me
And said, 'You should be wise
You're sad, my God, why?
Come, step into my song
There are some handsome guys...
Throw your sorrow in the stream
And turn your back on the dream...'

Your verse needs to be bright
So let’s talk about May's light
Trees dressed in lilac bloom
And summer bursting in full bloom
There are violets, a balcony
An old poet sings a melody
My dress is stained with sunlight
I keep it for my mornings bright

A tune ran through the street
Bumping into passersby
Weaving through the crowd, so sweet
With a catchy little vibe
People in its path
Looked at each other surprised
Stopped their chitchat fast
'What’s with this rude surprise?'
Yeah, but the tune was lively
And the words were inviting
And above all, it had within
Laughter that hit like a win...

If this tune that runs through the street
Can chase away your woes
Then step into the crowd, feel the beat
There’s room if you push through the flow...
