L'amour chante et chante en moi avec ses mille violons
Love sings and sings within me with its thousand violins
Toutes ses chansons de pleurs et de joies
All its songs of tears and joys
L'amour chante et chante en moi et je l'écoute cœur battant
Love sings and sings within me and I listen with a pounding heart
Il y a si longtemps que je l'attends
It's been so long since I've waited for it
Je te vois devant moi
I see you in front of me
Triomphant comme un soleil après la pluie
Triumphant like a sun after the rain
Je me vois dans tes bras
I see myself in your arms
Emportée sur le chemin de notre vie
Carried away on the path of our life
L'amour chante et chante en moi et tous les démons de l'enfer
Love sings and sings within me and all the demons of hell
Ne pourrons rien faire, pour troubler ma joie
Can do nothing to disturb my joy
L'amour danse et danse en moi la farandole du bonheur
Love dances and dances in me, the farandole of happiness
Oui, l'amour chante et danse dans mon cœur
Yes, love sings and dances in my heart
L'amour chante et chante en moi avec ses mille violons
Love sings and sings in me with its thousand violins
Toutes ses chansons de pleurs et de joies
All its songs of tears and joys
L'amour chante et chante en moi et je l'écoute cœur battant
Love sings and sings in me and I listen, heart pounding
Il y a si longtemps que je l'attends
It's been so long since I've waited for it
Les oiseaux, les ruisseaux
The birds, the streams
Les cigales et les clochers des alentours
The cicadas and the steeples nearby
Et le vent, tout là-haut
And the wind, way up high
Ont la même voix que la voix de l'amour
Have the same voice as the voice of love
L'amour chante et chante en moi des phrases qui en disent long
Love sings and sings within me phrases that say a lot
Et les mots si bons que tu me diras
And the words so sweet that you will say to me
L'amour chante et danse en moi la farandole du bonheur
Love sings and dances within me the farandole of happiness
Oui l'amour chante et danse dans mon cœur
Yes, love sings and dances in my heart
