Original Title: "On pense à toi Paris"
Year: 1959
Dream seller and love girl
Every Manon's from the America's
Every Carmen's from Singapore
Have moments of melancholy
Adventurers from South to North
Sailors, settlers or gold diggers
Also have moments of blues
And in the whole world
Some evening
We think of you,
of you Paris
When we are far away
When we are bored
When think of you
Like a friend
To whom we can tell our whole life
When we are alone
When all is grey
When things are going badly
From bad to worse
We think of you,
of you Paris
And something immediately
Smiles at you
I recollect the corner of a street
A small bistrot
In the 18th district
And a coalmanv very moustached
Who served us cream with coffee
We met there twice a day
And were telling love words to one another
Since that time in my heart
Paris, for me, is happiness
I think of you,
of you Paris
When I'm far away
When I get bored
I think of you
Like of a friend
To whom I can tell my whole life
When we are alone
When all is grey
When things are going badly
From bad to worse
We think of you,
of you Paris
Like to the love
Which we never forget
