Ey, ey, ey, ah-ah
Ey, ey, ey, ey

Somehow, I've lost my way
I have no idea where I'm going
Standing with my little suitcase
Here on the Champs-Élysées
Suddenly you speak to me
"Salut, qu'est-ce que vous cherchez?" (Hello, what are you looking for?)
I say, "Pardon, I'm sorry
I can't understand you"
But you keep talking
I find it somehow charming
And draw two cups of coffee
With a pen on your hand

I don't speak French
But please keep talking
Everything you're telling me
Sounds somehow nice
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French
But please keep talking

Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la

Hey Miss, I don't speak German
Come, I'll show you what the French Touch is
Give me your hand, we start with a dance step
Hurry up, everything goes fast here, Parisians don't have time
Trust me, I'm your Aladdin
The jealous will say that I'm only good for sweet talk
Come on, you and me, let's go for a walk
Stop! Close your eyes, this is sweet talk
Yes, Paris is magical, but Paris is also dark
The contrast between Pigalle and the Arc
I won't lie to you, tell you that everything here is rosy
That there are only flowers waiting to be watered
I don't have the accent, but I like you
Do you understand or do I need to explain?
You are charming like my city
I could see you like it in my life

I don't speak German
But like you, I feel people
Come on, let's talk, there's nothing mean
I'll drop you back on the Champs

I don't speak French
But please keep talking
Everything you're telling me
Sounds somehow nice
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French
But please keep talking

Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la

The sun falls behind the houses
Ships pass us by
And all we want
Is for the moment to last a bit longer
Around us a thousand people
They're all talking at once
But the language we're speaking
Only the two of us understand

I don't speak French
But please keep talking
Everything you're telling me
Sounds somehow nice
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French
But please keep talking

I don't speak French
But please keep talking
Everything you're telling me
Sounds somehow nice
And time just stands still
I wish I could understand you
I don't speak French
But please keep talking

Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la la la la
