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, oh how beautiful is autumn in Vienna
It's that, 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
Turned merge
How beautiful were the evenings in Vienna

Your letter must have crossed mine
No-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
Lodged me in my room
In tones of purple and amber
Heavy silk curtains

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, Vienna
How beautiful, Vienna

It's been a week
Already that I live alone in Vienna
It's curious the chance
I met, the other night
Our long-time friends, at my place

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
I'm fine

And then from week to week
Here I am living alone in Vienna
Your letters are becoming rare
Maybe somewhere else
You found the oblivion of me

I read, I write but still
Oh, how long is autumn in Vienna
In this double bed
Where at night, I freeze
Suddenly, I miss you

How long, Vienna
How far, Vienna

If I write to you, tonight, from Vienna
You know, it's that you have to come
I had left, forgive me
Our sky was becoming so heavy

But you, from Paris to Vienna
At the end of an invisible chain
You were watching me, 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 surrender
Autumn is beautiful
And I want to live it with you

How beautiful Vienna
How beautiful Vienna
How beautiful Vienna
With you Vienna
