If I write to you tonight from Vienna
I would like you to understand
That I chose absence
As a last chance
Our sky was becoming so heavy
If I write to you tonight from Vienna
Oh how beautiful is autumn in Vienna
It's because without thinking
I preferred to leave
And I am in Vienna without you
I walk, I dream in Vienna
On three beats of distant waltz
It seems that the shadows
Turn and merge
How beautiful were the evenings in Vienna
Your letter must have crossed mine
No, I don't want you to come
I am alone and then I love
Being free
Oh how I love
This exile in Vienna without you

An old Austrian lady
As there are only in Vienna
Lodges me and in my room
Fall of purple and amber
Heavy silk drapes
It's beautiful through the blinds
I see Saint Stephen's Church
And when the evening settles
It's blue, it's gray, it's mauve
And the night over the roofs
How beautiful is Vienna
How beautiful is Vienna

It's been a week
Already that I am alone in Vienna
It's curious the chance
I crossed the other night
Our friends from Lountatchimo
It's been a week
They were passing through Vienna
They didn't ask anything
But were surprised
To see me in Vienna without you

Me, me
I walk around
I'm fine
I'm fine
La la la la la... I'm fine... so fine

And then from week to week
Here I am living alone in Vienna
Your letters are rare
Maybe somewhere else
You have found oblivion of me
I read I write but still
Oh how long is autumn in Vienna
In this double bed
Where I freeze at night
Suddenly I miss you
How long is Vienna
How far is Vienna

If I write to you tonight from Vienna
Darling it's because you have to come
I had left
Forgive me
Our sky was becoming so heavy
And you from Paris to Vienna
At the end of an invisible chain
You were watching I think
Playing indifference
And you kept me despite myself

It's midnight tonight in Vienna
My love you have to come
You see I give up
Autumn is so beautiful
And I would like to live it with you
How beautiful is Vienna
With you Vienna.
