Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara

Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux toujours danser
You can still dance
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change a thing
Je suis mort à Paris
I died in Paris
Il y a longtemps déjà
It's been a long time already
Il y a longtemps d'ennui
Long ago, there was boredom
Il y a longtemps de toi
Long ago, there was you
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux toujours chanter
You can always sing
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change anything about it
Je suis mort à Paris
I am dead in Paris
Tombé au champ d'amour
Fallen in the field of love
Pour un prénom de fille
For the name of a girl
Qui m'avait dit toujours
Who always told me
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux toujours tourner
You can always turn
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change a thing
Je suis mort à Paris
I died in Paris
De m'être trop trompé
For having been too mistaken
De m'être trop meurtri
For having been too wounded
De m'être trop donné
For having given too much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux me bousculer
You can push me around
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change a thing
Je suis mort à Paris
I died in Paris
Fusillé par une fleur
Shot by a flower
Au poteau de son lit
At the post of her bed
De douze rires dans le cœur
With twelve laughs in my heart
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux toujours crier
You can always scream
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change a thing
Je suis mort à Paris
I am dead in Paris
Il y a mille soirs
There are a thousand evenings
Il y a mille nuits
There are a thousand nights
Il n'y a plus d'espoir
There is no more hope
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux bien me saouler
You can really drive me crazy
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change anything about it
Je suis mort à Paris
I am dead in Paris
A Paris que j'enterre
In Paris, where I bury
Et depuis mille nuits
And for a thousand nights
Dans le fond de mon verre
At the bottom of my glass
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu peux carnavaler
You can carnival
Carnaval à Rio
Carnival in Rio
Tu n'y peux rien changer
You can't change anything about it
Je suis mort à Paris
I died in Paris
Que la mort me console
May death comfort me
La mort est par ici
Death is over here
La mort est espagnole
Death is Spanish
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
Je t'aimais tant
I loved you so much
Je t'aimais tant, Clara
I loved you so much, Clara
