Alons, viens encore, cherie. 
J`attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue. 

Then I may end. 
She had things to buy. 
I close my eyes . 
Yet I don`t know why. 
I gave her money; said she knew someone. 
And she said she won`t be long. 

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning. 
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine. 

I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed . 
Then saw your face in an old photograph. 
I didn`t think that I could live without you but what am I to do ? 

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning. 
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine 

Come home again dear. I have waited year after year 
under the lamp in our old avenue. 
If all in the world that`s laughing, why should it make us cry? 

Ah...
