Translation of C'était Bien from French to English
It was just after the war
In a little dance hall that had suffered
On a track of misery
There were two of them exposed
Among the rubble, they danced
In this little dance hall that was called
That was called
That was called
That was called
No, I don't remember
The name of the lost dance hall
What I do remember
Is its lovers
Who didn't look at anything around them
There was so much carelessness
In their moved gestures
So what's the importance
The name of the lost dance hall
No, I don't remember
The name of the lost dance hall
What I do remember
Is that they were happy
Eyes deep in eyes
And it was good
And it was good
They drank from the same glass
Always without taking their eyes off each other
They made the same prayer
To always, always be happy
Among the rubble, they smiled
In this little dance hall that was called
That was called
That was called
That was called
No, I don't remember
The name of the lost dance hall
What I do remember
Is its lovers
Who didn't look at anything around them
There was so much carelessness
In their moved gestures
So what's the importance
The name of the lost dance hall
No, I don't remember
The name of the lost dance hall
What I do remember
Is that they were happy
Eyes deep in eyes
And it was good
And it was good
And then when the accordionist
Stopped, they left
The evening fell on the track
On the rubble and on my life
It had become all sad again
This little dance hall that was called
That was called
That was called
That was called
No, I don't remember
The name of the lost dance hall
What I do remember
Is its lovers
Who didn't look at anything around them
There was so much light
With them in the street
So what's the big deal
The name of the lost dance hall
No, I don't remember
The name of the lost dance hall
What I do remember
Is that we were happy
Eyes deep in eyes
And it was good
And it was good
