Les valses de Vienne
François Feldman
The Waltzes of Vienna
From the bridge of torments
Fall the actresses
And in their chrome eyes
Destiny has blurred
At the Café de Flore
The fauna and flora
We light up the world
In a blonde smoke
Now what's become
What's become of the waltzes of Vienna?
Tell me, what have you done
During these years?
If the words are the same
Tell me if you love me
Now what's become
What's become of the waltzes of Vienna?
And the creaking shutters
Of a provincial castle?
Today when you dance
Tell me, what are you thinking about?
In ancient Rome
Roam the romantics
The unfaithful loves
Are written on software
From the depths of the night
Boredom resurfaces
And our childhood sorrows
In the pages of 'The Great Meaulnes'
Now what's become
What's become of the waltzes of Vienna?
Tell me, what have you done
During these years?
If the words are the same
Tell me if you love me
Now what's become
What's become of the waltzes of Vienna?
And the creaking shutters
Of a provincial castle?
Today when you dance
Tell me, what are you thinking about?
Now what's become
What's become of the waltzes of Vienna?
Tell me, what have you done
During these years?
If the words are the same
Tell me if you love me
Now what's become
What's become of the waltzes of Vienna?
And the creaking shutters
Of a provincial castle?
Today when you dance
Tell me, what are you thinking about?
