J'ai Deux Amours

They say that beyond the seas
There, under the clear sky
There exists a city
With an enchanted stay
And under the big black trees
Every evening
All my hope goes towards it

I have two loves
My country and Paris
Through them always
My heart is delighted
My savannah is beautiful
But why deny it
What enchants me
Is Paris, all of Paris
To see it one day
Is my lovely dream
I have two loves
My country and Paris

When on the shore sometimes
In the distance I see
A ship sailing away
Towards it I reach out my arms
And with a heart beating with excitement
In a low voice
Softly I say
