The Romance of Paris

They were loving each other for just two days
there's sometimes some happiness in suffering
but since they were in love
their fate wasn't unhappy anymore
they lived on a strange dream
and this dream was blue like the angels
their love was a real springtime, yes
as pure as their tender twenty years
 
[Chorus:]
It's the romance of Paris
it blooms at the corner of streets
that puts in the heart of lovers
a trifle of a dream and of a blue sky
this sweet refrain of our suburbs
speaks so gently of love
that everyone is crazy about it:
it's the romance of Paris!
 
The suburb was their actual hang out
at the weekend they were going
to the woods to pick may lilies
or sailing on a boat.
They were also drinking in pubs
white wine that makes your head spin
and when they kissed each other, yes
all the couples while dancing were discussing:
 
(chorus)
 
This is where my story ends
would you find it hard to believe me
if I told you that they loved each other every single day
that they grew old with their tender love
that they built an admirable family
and that they had adorable children
that they died gently, nameless, yes
departing just as they had come
 
(chorus)
