L'amour est bleu | Love is blue |
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux | Sweet, sweet, love is sweet |
Douce est ma vie, ma vie dans tes bras | Sweet is my life, my life in your arms |
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux | Sweet, sweet, love is sweet |
Douce est ma vie, ma vie près de toi | Sweet is my life, my life close to you |
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu | Blue, blue, love is blue |
Berce mon cœur, mon cœur amoureux | Cradle my heart, my loving heart |
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu | Blue, blue, love is blue |
Bleu comme le ciel qui joue dans tes yeux | Blue like the sky which play in your eyes |
Comme l'eau, comme l'eau qui court | Like the water, like the running water |
Moi, mon cœur court après ton amour | Me, my heart runs after your love |
Gris, gris, l'amour est gris | Grey, grey, love is grey |
Pleure mon cœur lorsque tu t'en vas | My heart weeps since you went away |
Gris, gris, le ciel est gris | Grey, grey, the sky is grey |
Tombe la pluie quand tu n'es plus là | The rain falls when you're not there anymore |
Le vent, le vent gémit | The wind, the wind moans |
Pleure le vent lorsque tu t'en vas | The wind weeps since you went away |
Le vent, le vent maudit | The wind, the cursed wind |
Pleure mon cœur quand tu n'es plus là | My heart weeps when you're not there anymore |
Comme l'eau, comme l'eau qui court | Like the water, like the running water |
Moi, mon cœur court après ton amour | Me, my heart runs after your love |
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu | Blue, blue, love is blue |
Le ciel est bleu lorsque tu reviens | The sky is blue when you return |
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu | Blue, blue, love is blue |
L'amour est bleu quand tu prends ma main | Love is blue when you take my hand |
Fou, fou, l'amour est fou | Mad, mad, love is mad |
Fou comme toi et fou comme moi | Mad like you and mad like me |
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu | Blue, blue, love is blue |
L'amour est bleu quand je suis à toi | Love is blue when I am yours |
L'amour est bleu quand je suis à toi | Love is blue when I am yours |
