Menilmontant

Menilmontant, yes ma'am
That's where I left my heart
That's where I come to find my soul
All my fire
All my happiness...
When I see my little church again
Where weddings used to happen joyfully
When I see my old gray house again
Where even the breeze
Speaks of the past
They tell me stories
Like in the old days
Pretty tales
Beautiful days, I see you again
A rendezvous
A tune
Dreamy eyes, a whole novel
A whole novel of love, poetic and tragic
Menilmontant!

When noon chimes
Life wakes up again
Everything resonates
With a thousand echoes
The young lady has her lunch at the bistro
The chatterbox
Reads her newspapers
Here’s the green gate
Here’s the open door
That creaks a bit to say "Hello, hello
So, you’re back?"

Menilmontant, yes ma'am
That's where I left my heart
That's where I come to find my soul
All my fire
All my happiness...
When I see my little train station again
Where every train passed happily
I still hear in the clamor
Strange words
Words of goodbye
I'm not a poet
But I'm moved,
And in my head
There are memories never lost
One winter evening
A tune
Your gentle eyes, mom
What a beautiful love story, poetic
And tragic
Menilmontant!
