J'aurais voulu
I would have liked
J'aurais voulu
I would have liked
J'aurais voulu danser
I would have liked to dance
J'aurais voulu danser
I would have liked to dance
J'aurais voulu tourner
I would have liked to spin
Jusqu'à la fin des jours
Until the end of days
Toute étourdie de joie
All dizzy with joy
Toute imprégnée de toi
All soaked in you
Au rythme de l'amour
To the rhythm of love
Toute la nuit, toute la vie peut-être
All night, maybe all my life
Juste le temps de se connaître
Just the time to get to know each other
Si j'avais su, j'aurais compris comme un aveu
If I had known, I would have understood like a confession
Tout ce que me disaient tes yeux
Everything your eyes told me
Mais depuis lors
But since then
Je danse encore en rêve
I still dance in dreams
Avec ton nom au bord des lèvres
With your name on the tip of my lips
J'ai le regret de toi
I have the regret of you
Ton souvenir m'entoure
Your memory surrounds me
Car c'était toi, oui toi
For it was you, yes you
L'amour
Love
