It's a romance
Written in France
A melody on which I met you
You told me about English records
I taught you to speak to me of love since
Girl from France you understood,
That not all that comes from across the Channel is gold
Since that day the dead leaves
And the white roses are love songs
You are the sun of the South, the scent of Normandy
The taste of good wine, the taste of life

You are, beautiful as kind as a French song
You are, simple as sweet as a French song
Well made and sentimental
You sing when everything goes wrong
You always find a tune
That says in life don't worry
(Yes) you are, proud as tender as a French song
You have, the common sense and the heart of a French song
Yes almost as beautiful and faithful, as traditional
As a song of always
You make love like in French songs

Fog and rain, a winter evening
I see us again in a car heading towards Paris
You keep me warm, and to drive
I put the radio on so as not to fall asleep
But near Senlis, the road slips
It's the deluge quickly we must find a refuge
I had forced under the lightning

Suddenly we were all alone on Earth
Under an Italian poplar
Which served as a lightning rod
You became my most beautiful You are, beautiful as kind as a French song
You are, simple as sweet as a French song
Well made and sentimental
You sing when everything goes wrong
You always find a tune
That says in life don't worry
(Yes) you are, proud as tender as a French song
You have, the common sense and the heart of a French song
Yes almost as beautiful and faithful, as traditional
As a song of always
You make love like in French songs

Yes

You are, beautiful as kind as a French song
You are, simple as sweet as a French song
Well made and sentimental
You sing when everything goes wrong
You always find a tune
That says in life don't worry
(Yes) you are, proud as tender as a French song
You have, the common sense and the heart of a French song
Yes almost as beautiful and faithful, as traditional
As a song of always
You make love like in French songs
