La boheme
I am telling you about a time
That people under twenty years old cannot know.
Montmartre at that time was hanging its lilacs
Up under our windows, and even if our modest furnished
That we used as a nest did not look great,
That is where we met,
Me starving and you posing nude.
La boheme, la boheme,
it meant we are happy.
La boheme, la boheme,
we only ate every other day.
In the nearby coffee shops
We were a few
Waiting for glory, and although poor
With our empty bellies
We did not stop believing in it, and when some bistro
For a nice warm meal
took one of our paintings, we recited verses,
Gathered around the stove while forgetting winter.
La boheme, la boheme,
it meant you are pretty.
La boheme, la boheme,
and we were all talented.
Often I used ,
In front of my easel,
to spend sleepless nights
Altering the drawing,
Of the line of a breast,
Of the curve of a hip, and only in the morning,
We finally sat,
In front of a coffee with cream,
Exhausted but delighted.
We must have loved each other and loved life.
La boheme, la boheme,
it meant we are twenty years old.
La boheme, la boheme,
we lived from the air of the time.
When on a random day
I go for a walk
To my old address
I no longer recognize
Neither the walls, nor the streets
That witnessed my youth.
At the top of a stairway,
I look for the studio
Of which nothing remains.
In its new setting,
Montmartre seems sad and the lilactrees are dead.
La boheme, la boheme.
We were young, we were foolish.
La boheme, la boheme.
It doesn't mean anything anymore.
