Lyrics and translation The Pogues - Who Said Romance Is Dead?
Someone
said
romance
is
dead
Quelqu'un
a
dit
que
la
romance
est
morte
But
I'm
afraid
that
I
don't
agree
Mais
j'ai
peur
de
ne
pas
être
d'accord
If
you've
a
heart
of
lead
Si
tu
as
un
cœur
de
plomb
And
a
hole
in
your
head
Et
un
trou
dans
la
tête
You're
so
blind
that
you
can't
see
Tu
es
tellement
aveugle
que
tu
ne
peux
pas
voir
There's
a
fire
burns
Il
y
a
un
feu
qui
brûle
As
the
world
turns
Alors
que
le
monde
tourne
Lights
up
our
dreams
Éclaire
nos
rêves
Who
else
said
romance
is
dead?
Qui
d'autre
a
dit
que
la
romance
est
morte?
Come
take
a
walk
with
me
Viens
te
promener
avec
moi
Sha

I
spray
your
name
on
the
side
of
a
train
J'éclaire
ton
nom
sur
le
côté
d'un
train
Watch
lovers
kiss
in
the
final
frame
Regarde
les
amoureux
s'embrasser
dans
le
dernier
cadre
A
silhouette
dancing
in
a
window
pane
Une
silhouette
dansant
dans
une
vitre
Love
is
a
burning
flame
L'amour
est
une
flamme
brûlante
The
girl
on
a
runway
waiting
for
a
plane
La
fille
sur
une
piste
d'atterrissage
attendant
un
avion
Is
sweeter
than
the
locket
on
a
golden
chain
Est
plus
douce
que
le
médaillon
sur
une
chaîne
dorée
Lights
awake
down
a
misty
lane
Les
lumières
s'éveillent
dans
une
allée
brumeuse
See
a
rainbow
every
time
it
rains.
Voir
un
arc-en-ciel
chaque
fois
qu'il
pleut.
Love
on
a
left
bank,
a
saxophone
sighed
L'amour
sur
une
rive
gauche,
un
saxophone
a
soupiré
Drifting
on
a
reed
around
midnight
Dérivant
sur
une
roseau
à
minuit
Wrapped
up
in
the
sunset
glowing
outside
Enveloppé
dans
le
coucher
de
soleil
qui
brille
dehors
Alone
on
a
deep
end
in
the
pink
twilight
Seul
sur
un
fond
profond
dans
la
pénombre
rose
Snowflakes
falling
in
the
Christmas
lights
Des
flocons
de
neige
tombant
dans
les
lumières
de
Noël
Stars
in
heaven
burning
bright
Des
étoiles
au
ciel
brûlent
avec
éclat
A
football
flight
on
the
front
of
the
night
Un
vol
de
ballon
de
football
sur
le
devant
de
la
nuit
The
roar
of
a
crowd
red
and
white
Le
rugissement
d'une
foule
rouge
et
blanche
Someone

Flowers
at

blues
in
the
night
Des
fleurs
au
coucher
du
soleil,
des

Kissed
by
a
river
in
the
pale
moonlight
Embrassé
par
une
rivière
dans
le
clair
de

pâle
The
words
of
the

lovers

chaleur
de
la

Bathed
in
the
glow
of
an
old
gaslight
Baigné
dans
la
lueur
d'un
vieux
réverbère
Sitting
in
the
rain
it's
a
wonderful
life
Assise
sous
la
pluie,
c'est
une
vie
merveilleuse
Take
you
in
my
arms
and
hold
you
tight
Je
te
prends
dans
mes
bras
et
te
tiens
serré
Lost
in
the
stars
with
the
satellites
Perdu

les
étoiles
