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, how beautiful autumn is in Vienna
It's that without thinking, I preferred to leave
And I am in Vienna without you

I walk, I dream in Vienna
To the rhythm of a distant waltz
It seems that the shadows turn and blend
How beautiful the evenings in Vienna were

Your letter must have crossed mine
No, I don't want you to come
I am alone and I like being free
How I love this exile in Vienna without you

An old Austrian lady
As only exists in Vienna
Was lodging me in my room
Draped in purple and amber
With heavy silk curtains
It's beautiful through the shutters
I see St. Stephen's Cathedral
And when evening falls
Its blues, its grays, its mauves
And the night above the rooftops

Vienna is beautiful
Vienna is beautiful

It's been a week
Already that I am alone in Vienna
It's curious, by chance
I ran into the other night
Our friends from Lontaccini

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, I walk around
I am well, I am well

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

I read and I write but still
How long autumn is in Vienna
In this double bed
Where at night I freeze
Suddenly I miss you
How long Vienna is
How far Vienna is

If I write to you tonight from Vienna
You know it's because you need to come
I had left, forgive me
Our sky was becoming so heavy
And you from Paris to Vienna
At the end of an invisible chain
You watch me and I think
Playing indifference
You kept me despite myself

It is midnight tonight in Vienna
My love, you need to come
You see, I surrender
Autumn is so beautiful
And I would like to live it with you

Vienna is beautiful
With you, Vienna
