A
cigarette
that
bears
a
lipstick's
traces,
Une
cigarette
qui
porte
les
traces
d'un
rouge
à
lèvres,
An
airline
ticket
to
romantic
places,
Un
billet
d'avion
pour
des
endroits
romantiques,
And
still
my
heart
has
wings...
Et
pourtant
mon
cœur
a
des
ailes...
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you.
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi.
A
tinkling
piano
in
the
next
apartment,
Un
piano
qui
tinte
dans
l'appartement
d'à
côté,
Those
stumbling
words
that
told
you
what
my
heart
meant,
Ces
mots
hésitants
qui
te
disaient
ce
que
mon
cœur
ressentait,
A
fairground's
painted
swings...
Des
balançoires
peintes
d'une
fête
foraine...
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you.
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi.
You
came,
you
saw,
Tu
es
venu,
tu
as
vu,
You
conquered
me.
Tu
m'as
conquise.
When
you
did
that
to
me,
Quand
tu
m'as
fait
ça,
I
knew
somehow
this
had
to
be.
J'ai
su
que
cela
devait
être
ainsi.
The
winds
of
march
that
made
my
heart
a
dancer,
Les
vents
de
mars
qui
ont
fait
de
mon
cœur
un
danseur,
A
telephone
that
rings,
Un
téléphone
qui
sonne,
And
who's
to
answer?
Et
qui
répondra
?
Oh,
how
the
ghost
of
you
clings...
Oh,
comme
ton
fantôme
s'accroche...
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you.
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi.
The
first
daffodil
and
long
excited
cables,
La
première
jonquille
et
de
longs
câbles
excités,
And
candle
lights
on
little
corner
tables,
Et
la
lumière
des
bougies
sur
de
petites
tables
d'angle,
And
still
my
heart
has
wings...
Et
pourtant
mon
cœur
a
des
ailes...
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you.
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi.
The
park
at
evening
when
the
bell
has
sounded,
Le
parc
le
soir
quand
la
cloche
a
sonné,
The
'ile-de-france'
with
all
the
gulls
around
it,
L'île-de-France
avec
toutes
les
mouettes
autour,
The
beauty
that
is
spring's...
La
beauté
du
printemps...
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you.
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi.
How
strange,
how
sweet
Comme
c'est
étrange,
comme
c'est
doux
To
find
you
still,
De
te
trouver
encore,
These
things
are
dear
to
me,
Ces
choses
sont
chères
à
mes
yeux,
They
seem
to
bring
you
near
to
me.
Elles
semblent
te
rapprocher
de
moi.
The
sigh
of
midnight
trains
in
empty
stations,
Le
soupir
des
trains
de
minuit
dans
les
gares
vides,
Silk
stockings
tossed
aside,
dance
invitations.
Des
bas
de
soie
jetés
de
côté,
des
invitations
à
danser.
Oh,
how
the
ghost
of
you
clings!
Oh,
comme
ton
fantôme
s'accroche
!
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you...
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi...
These
foolish
things
remind
me
of
you.
Ces
folles
choses
me
rappellent
toi.
