Le Tourbillon De La Vie (feat. Jeanne Moreau)
Vanessa Paradis
The Whirlwind of Life (feat. Jeanne Moreau)
She had rings on every finger,
Lots of bracelets around her wrists,
And then she sang with a voice
That immediately charmed me.
She had eyes, opal eyes,
That fascinated me, that fascinated me.
There was the oval of her pale face
Of a femme fatale that was fatal to me {2x}.
We met, we recognized each other,
We lost sight of each other, we lost sight of each other again,
We found each other, we warmed each other up,
Then we separated.
Each went their own way.
In the whirlwind of life
I saw her again one evening, hey, hey, hey
It's been quite a while {2x}.
To the sound of banjos, I recognized her.
That curious smile that had pleased me so much.
Her voice so fatal, her beautiful pale face
Moved me more than ever.
I got drunk listening to her.
Alcohol makes you forget time.
I woke up feeling
Kisses on my burning forehead {2x}.
We met, we recognized each other,
We lost sight of each other, we lost sight of each other again,
We found each other, we warmed each other up,
Then we separated.
Each went their own way.
In the whirlwind of life
I saw her again one evening, hey, hey, hey
She fell back into my arms.
When we met,
When we recognized each other,
Why lose sight of each other,
Lose sight of each other again?
When we found each other,
When we warmed each other up,
Why separate?
So both of us went back
Into the whirlwind of life
We continued to turn
Both embraced
Both embraced.
