Lyrics and translation Count Basie & His Orchestra - Fools Rush In
"Romance
is
a
game
for
fools"
"La
romance
est
un
jeu
pour
les
fous"
I
used
to
say
Je
me
disais
A
game
I
thought
I'd
never
play
Un
jeu
auquel
je
ne
pensais
jamais
jouer
"Romance
is
a
game
for
fools"
"La
romance
est
un
jeu
pour
les
fous"
I
said
and
grinned
Je
disais
ça
en
souriant
Then
you
passed
by
Puis
tu
es
passé
And
here
am
I
Et
me
voilà
Throwing
caution
to
the
wind
Qui
jette
la
prudence
par-dessus
bord
Fools
rush
in
where
angels
fear
to
tread
Les
imbéciles
se
précipitent
là
où
les
anges
n'osent
pas
And
so
I
come
to
you,
my
love,
my
heart
above
my
head.
Et
alors
je
viens
à
toi,
mon
amour,
mon
cœur
au-dessus
de
ma
tête.
Though
I
see
the
danger
there
Bien
que
j'y
voie
le
danger
If
there's
a
chance
for
me,
then
I
don't
care
S'il
y
a
une
chance
pour
moi,
alors
je
m'en
fiche
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Fools
rush
in
where
wise
men
never
go
Les
imbéciles
se
précipitent
là
où
les
sages
ne
vont
jamais
But
wise
men
never
fall
in
love,
so
how
are
they
to
know?
Mais
les
sages
ne
tombent
jamais
amoureux,
alors
comment
peuvent-ils
savoir
?
When
we
met,
I
felt
my
life
begin
Quand
nous
nous
sommes
rencontrés,
j'ai
senti
ma
vie
commencer
So
open
up
your
heart
and
let
this
fool
rush
in
Alors
ouvre
ton
cœur
et
laisse
cet
idiot
se
précipiter
Fools
rush
in
where
wise
men
never,
never,
never
go
Les
imbéciles
se
précipitent
là
où
les
sages,
jamais,
jamais,
jamais
ne
vont
Eh,
but
wise
men
never
fall
in
love,
so
how
are
they
to
know?
Eh,
mais
les
sages
ne
tombent
jamais
amoureux,
alors
comment
peuvent-ils
savoir
?
Ah,
when
we
met,
girl,
I
felt
my
life
begin
Ah,
quand
nous
nous
sommes
rencontrés,
ma
belle,
j'ai
senti
ma
vie
commencer
So
open
up
your
heart
and
let
this
fool
rush
in
Alors
ouvre
ton
cœur
et
laisse
cet
idiot
se
précipiter
Just
open
up
your
heart
and
let
this
fool
rush
on
in
Ouvre
simplement
ton
cœur
et
laisse
cet
imbécile
se
précipiter
Just
open
up
your
heart
because
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
am
coming
in
Ouvre
simplement
ton
cœur
car
je-je-je-je-je-je-je
viens
Open
up
your
heart
and
let
this
fool
rush
in!!
Ouvre
ton
cœur
et
laisse
cet
idiot
se
précipiter
!!
