Ménilmontant, but yes madam
That's where I left my heart
That's where I come to find my soul
All my flame
All my happiness

When I see my little church again
Where weddings went cheerfully
When I see my old gray house again
Where even the breeze
Speaks of the past

They tell me
Like in the old days
Pretty stories
Beautiful past days, I see you again

A date
A music
Dreamy eyes, a whole novel
A whole novel of poetic and pathetic love
Ménilmontant!

When noon rings
Life awakens again
Everything resonates
With a thousand echoes
The midinette makes her dinner at the bistro
The chatterbox
Reads her newspapers

Here is the green gate
Here is the open door
Which creaks a little to say "Hello hello
So you're back?"

Ménilmontant, but yes madam
That's where I left my heart
That's where I come to find my soul
All my flame
All my happiness

When I see my little station again
Where each train passed joyfully
I still hear in the din
Strange words
Words of goodbye

I'm not a poet
But I'm moved
And in my head
There are memories never lost
A winter evening
A music
Very soft eyes, yours mom
A whole novel of poetic love
And pathetic
Ménilmontant!
