L'air de Paris
Lemarque Francis
The Air of Paris
We'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know
If it's in broad daylight
Or if it's night
That is born
On Saint-Louis Island
The angel or the demon
Who has no name
And is called
Today
The Air of Paris
Maybe it came
At the corner of a street
Like a lost child
The Air of Paris
Or up in the sky
With a sudden flap of wings
Did it come down
To us
The Air of Paris
You arrived
Two thousand years later
I found you
Just like that
Without looking for you
In front of a café au lait
In the pale morning
I told you I love you
Remember
We were there
Two shadows that life
Had brought together
In the heart of Paris
All asleep
We loved each other
And since that day
All our past
Has changed
Into future
We'll never know
If it's in broad daylight
Or if it's night
That is born
The Air of Paris
We'll never know
If on the same day
Love came to life
With it
On Saint-Louis Island
We'll never know
If the Air of Paris
Holds within it all the love
Of the whole world
Since it gave it to us
What's the point in searching
What's the point in knowing
What we will never know
We'll never know...
