We had been circling each other for a few months
As if this time, we didn't want to rush
Of our story, we were drawing the outlines
Until the evidence was well traced
There were dates, a restaurant, a movie
Laughs, discussions but I have to say it
Am I a gentleman or a coward?
But when it was time to leave, we only kissed on the cheek

She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
How far is Normandy

She asked me-me-me, she asked me-me-me
She asked me-me-me, she asked me-me, Deauville

We had been circling each other for a few months
And a few months, it's still very long
I wondered if she was really for
That I continue to play her the violin
Yet, every moment spent with her
Was even better than the previous one
At each meeting, she was more beautiful
And I, I was afraid of breaking my teeth

She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
But how far is Normandy

She asked me-me-me, she asked me-me-me
She asked me-me-me, she asked me-me, Deauville

One evening, after the restaurant, at midnight sharp
I asked her, "what do we do now?"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
As if the program was obvious
I made a quick calculation
That would get us there at two-thirty
Deauville in November, it's cold and wet
But of course, I immediately said "yes"

She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
How far is Normandy

She asked me-me-me, she asked me-me-me
She asked me-me-me, she asked me-me, Deauville

More than two hours of driving in the middle of the night
But in the car, there was no discomfort
Because in her smile, I quickly felt
The happiness at the end of the A13 highway
This little trip was not useless
It's been almost twenty years, I can't believe it
That every day, I feel a bit in Deauville
Twenty years that we kiss for the first time

She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
She asked me to take her to Deauville
To be able to kiss her, I said "yes"
She asked me to take her to Deauville
But how far is Normandy
