I will teach you love

I dreamt last night that I was making love
I dreamt last night that I was close to you
I dreamt last night that I was being taught about love
That I was close to you and you close to me
 
I will teach you about love
With tender gestures
I will tell you the words
That you dream of hearing
I will discover you
For the first time
When you go to sleep
To sleep next to me
 
I will teach you about the night
In the deep languor
On the same ocean
We will leave the world
And the first sun
Will glide over your skin
Impatient to offer you
Other new mornings
 
She: Teach me about love
He: I will teach you about love
She: Where will you take me?
He: Here, there, everywhere
She: That will last for days?
He: It was last forever
 
I will teach you about life
And its joys and its fears
I will make myself gentle
To muffle your groans
And your springtime so pure
Will see summer born
When you will become a woman
For my eternity
 
I will teach you about love
With tender gestures
I will tell you the words
That you dream of hearing
I will learn you by heart
On my fingertips
When you become a woman
For the first time
 
Chorus +
Elle: You will teach me, promise?
He: I swear

Yeah, I think the French was missing a line there as I recall. Amusingly unrecontructed male attitude eh? ;-)

I've now fixed the French with my new editing powers! :-)

Ah yes - he may be able to teach about love but for proper use of accents we'll have to look elsewhere! ;)

Ah good, glad you enjoyed it! I like how he said he was an Italian immigrant, living in Occitane singing American songs in French. :-)
