Original text with translation
Serge Reggiani
Moi je venais de ces coles
O l’on apprend que les paroles
De la chanson
Toi tu connaissais la musique
La thorie et la pratique
Sur tous les tons
Je n’avais pas un sou vaillant
Pour me payer tes sentiments
Mais comme tu n’tais pas chienne
Tu as fait de tes nuits les miennes
De temps en temps
Paris, je t’aime
Mme si tu n’aimes pas que moi
Paris la ville de joie
Et tu m’as fait tant de promesses
Que j’ai chant mon allgresse
A tous les vents
Je savais qu’il y en avait d’autres
Mais pour moi ce n’tait que faute
De jugement
Je me croyais bien le premier
Le seul possder ta clef
Mais tu m’avais donn le «passe»
D’la salle d’attente o se lassent
Tes vieux amants
Paris je t’aime
Mme si tu n’aimes pas que moi
Paris la ville de joie
J’suis retourn dans mes campagnes
D’autres amours, d’autres compagnes
Passent mon temps
Bien sare je n’ai plus ta lumire
De par ici on ne s’claire
Que chichement
Mais demain, je ne sais comment
Je reviendrai au bon moment
Seront finies mes annes tendres
Serai celui qui sait te prendre
Que tu attends
Paris, je t’aime
Et demain je sais que tu seras
Paris ma ville moi.
I came from these schools
Where we learn that words
Of the song
You knew the music
theory and practice
In all tones
I didn't have a valiant penny
To pay me for your feelings
But since you weren't a female dog
You made your nights mine
From time to time
Paris I love you
Even if you don't love me
Paris the city of joy
And you made me so many promises
That I sang my gladness
To all the winds
I knew there were others
But for me it was only fault
Judgmental
I thought I was the first
The only one with your key
But you gave me the pass
From the waiting room where we get tired
your old lovers
Paris I love you
Even if you don't love me
Paris the city of joy
I went back to my campaigns
Other loves, other companions
pass my time
Of course I no longer have your light
It's not clear from here
How sparingly
But tomorrow, I don't know how
I'll be back when the time is right
My tender years will be over
Will be the one who knows how to take you
What are you waiting for
Paris I love you
And tomorrow I know you will be
Paris my city me.
