La romance de Paris
Charles Trenet
Paroles: Charles Trenet
Musique: Léo Chauliac
(1942)
Ils s'aimaient depuis deux jours à peine
Y a parfois du bonheur dans la peine
Mais depuis qu'ils étaient amoureux
Leur destin n'était plus malheureux,
Ils vivaient avec un rêve étrange,
Et ce rêve était bleu comme les anges
Leur amour était un vrai printemps, oui
Aussi pur que leurs tendres vingt ans.
C'est la romance de Paris,
Au coin des rues elle fleurit,
Ça met au cœur des amoureux
Un peu de rêve et de ciel bleu,
Ce doux refrain de nos faubourgs
Parle si gentiment d'amour
Que tout le monde en est épris :
C'est la romance de Paris!
La banlieue était leur vrai domaine
Ils partaient à la fin de la semaine
Dans les bois pour cueillir le muguet
Ou sur un bateau pour naviguer.
Ils buvaient aussi dans les guinguettes
Du vin blanc qui fait tourner la tête,
Et quand ils se donnaient un baiser, oui
Tous les couples en dansant se disaient
{au Refrain}
C'est ici que s'arrête mon histoire,
Aurez-vous de la peine à me croire?
Si j'vous dis qu'il s'aimèrent chaque jour,
Qu'ils vieillirent avec leur tendre amour;
Qu'ils fondèrent une famille admirable,
Et qu'ils eurent des enfants adorables,
Qu'ils moururent gentiment, inconnus, oui
En partant comme ils étaient venus
{au Refrain}
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
