Joe Dassin - Les Champs-elysées English translation lyrics

Your rating:

On the Champs-Elysées

I went for a walk on the avenue
my heart open to the unknown
I felt like greeting whoever
Whoever, was you,
I said anything to you
It was enough to speak to you,
to get to know you.

On Champs-Elysées,
On Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain,
at midday or at midnight
There is all that you want
On Champs-Elysées.

You said to me "I have appointment
in a basement with loons (crazy-guys)
Who live guitar at the hand,
from evening till morning"
Then I followed you,
We sang, we danced
We did not even think
of kissing.

On Champs-Elysées,
On Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain,
at midday or at midnight
There is all that you want
On Champs-Elysées.

Yesterday evening two strangers
And this morning on the avenue
Two lovers very dazed
by the long night
from the Etolie to the Concorde
an orchestra in thousand chords
The dawn chorus sings of love  [Lit:All birds of daybreak sing of love.

On Champs-Elysées,
On Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain,
At midday or at midnight
There is all that you want
On Champs-Elysées. 

On Champs-Elysées,
On Champs-Elysées
In the sun, in the rain,
At midday or at midnight
There is all that you want
On Champs-Elysées.

Les Champs-elysées

Je m`baladais sur l`avenue 
le coeur ouvert à l`inconnu
J`avais envie de dire bonjour à n`importe qui
N`importe qui ce fut toi, je t`ai dit n`importe quoi
Il suffisait de te parler, pour t`apprivoiser

Aux Champs-Élysées,
aux Champs-Élysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie
À midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez
aux Champs-Élysées

Tu m`as dit &quot;J`ai rendez-vous dans un sous-sol avec des fous
Qui vivent la guitare à la main, du soir au matin&quot;
Alors je t`ai accompagnée, on a chanté, on a dansé
Et l`on n`a même pas pensé à s`embrasser

Aux Champs-Élysées,
aux Champs-Élysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie
À midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez
aux Champs-Élysées

Hier soir deux inconnus 
Et ce matin sur l`avenue
Deux amoureux tout étourdis par la longue nuit
Et de l`Étoile à la Concorde
Un orchestre à mille cordes
Tous les oiseaux du point du jour chantent l`amour

Aux Champs-Élysées,
aux Champs-Élysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie
À midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez
aux Champs-Élysées

Aux Champs-Élysées,
aux Champs-Élysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie
À midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez
aux Champs-Élysées

Aux Champs-Élysées,
aux Champs-Élysées (fading)
