Era final de año en el viejo mundo,
It was the end of the year in the old world,
El frío de la noche clara era tan profundo.
The cold of the clear night was so deep.
La gente bailaba y todo París cantaba,
The people danced and all of Paris sang,
Las luces giraban y tu cara pintaban.
The lights were spinning and they painted your face.
Tus ojos querían decirme tantos secretos...
Your eyes wanted to tell me so many secrets...
Bailando entre amigos, tú me mandabas besos.
Dancing among friends, you sent me kisses.
Faltaban apenas cinco para las doce,
It was just five to twelve,
Tomaste mi mano y eso fue el acabose.
You took my hand and that was the end of it.
Llevaste unas uvas y dos copas contigo...
You brought some grapes and two glasses with you...
Veíamos La Torre Eiffel desde aquel balcón.
We watched the Eiffel Tower from that balcony.
Hablaste francés y nunca entendí tu nombre,
You spoke French and I never understood your name,
Reías y sólo recuerdo esta canción.
You laughed and all I remember is this song.
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Siento tu cuerpo, siento tu corazón...
I feel your body, I feel your heart...
Y aunque ha pasado el tiempo la distancia sea mayor,
And even though time has passed, the distance is greater,
Guarda tus sentimientos en una carta de amor.
Keep your feelings in a love letter.

(INTERMEDIO)
Contesto y tu voz altera todo mi cuerpo,
I answer and your voice alters my whole body,
Te ríes porque sabes bien que yo estoy durmiendo.
You laugh because you know well that I am sleeping.
Me cuentas que el día pasa igual que la noche...
You tell me that the day goes by just like the night...
Que hablas con las estrellas cosas de amor.
That you talk to the stars about things of love.
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Siento tu cuerpo, siento tu corazón...
I feel your body, I feel your heart...
Y aunque ha pasado el tiempo la distancia sea mayor,
And even though time has passed, the distance may be greater,
Guarda tus sentimientos en una carta de amor.
Keep your feelings in a love letter.

Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Siento tu cuerpo, siento tu corazón...
I feel your body, I feel your heart...
Y aunque ha pasado el tiempo la distancia sea mayor,
And even though time has passed and the distance is greater,
Guarda tus sentimientos en una carta de amor.
Save your feelings in a love letter.
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...
Oh jollie madame... oh jollie madame...

Siento tu cuerpo, siento tu corazón...

Y aunque ha pasado el tiempo la distancia sea mayor,
And even though time has passed and the distance is greater,
Guarda tus sentimientos en una carta de amor.
