You'll Come Back

Montparnasse and its dishevelled cafés
means terraces, bars, lofts,
means bohemian life, dream and madness,
insanity next to genius.
 
Desires, never fulfilled,
mean youth and carefree days.
I know very well this is a mistake,
and yet, if you care to know:
 
You'll come back to share my life,
oh my darling! just like before...
You'll come back by my side,
all sore after your fling.
 
A single kiss will overcome my grudge,
for your love is my treasure, my fortune.
You'll realize nothing will ever be forgotten
and your life is in my arms! (x2)
 

Continental

Continental, ball rhythm
To the tempo of this dance
We dance unrestrained without thinking
This new dance is what we call
Continental the dance of the continent
 
This continental gust
Plenty of others excite even the most reserved
We have to dance to be polite
Continental the dance of the continent
 
The poor people who don't dare speak
Dare to dance the continental(1)
 
When she passes by your arms intertwine
Then you gracefully take a kiss
Ah, how she swoons, grab her waist
The continental couldn't be more easy
 
Fashion is at the Lido(2)
Continental (x2)
Fashion is at the Prado(3)
Continental (x2)
In Cannes, Rome, Vienna, Prague, or Corfu
Dance the continental, you'll be at home wherever you are
The dance of the present
The continental is the true condiment
The constant contentment of the continent
That everyone dances conti continentally.

The words have no value to themselves

We smile
when we read
love letters.
We always happened
to make the same discussion.
And yet,
all the time,
despite the frauds,
these charming pictures
have dazzled our hearts.
 
[Chorus:]
The words have no value to themselves.
But we give them -when we love each other-
all the meanings,
thanks to the ponctuation,
even if they may be worthless at times.
Love is read between the lines.
The letter is a written spell of magic
which we read with love.
