Elle

Avait dix-huit ans
Les cheveux au vent
La ligne
D´un cygne
Qui dàà‚©pliait ses...

(She
was eighteen years old
Hair in the wind
The line
Of a swan
Who´s unfolding her (wings))

Elle
Avait les accents
D´un oiseau chantant
Et tous les musiciens
Se retournaient sur...

(She
Had the lines
Of a singing bird
And all musicians
Were turning to (her))

Elle
Avait tout l´àà‚©clat
De ce siàà‚¨cle-làà‚Â
Oàà‚¹ la valse
Etait reine
Oàà‚¹ l´amour àà‚©tait roi
Dans un ciel
De dentelles
Irràà‚©...

(She

Had all the shinning
Of that century
Where the waltz
Was queen
Where love was king
In a sky
Of lace
Unreal)

Elle
Promenait ses mains
Sur un clavecin
Et Chopin la trouvait
B...elle
N´avait qu´àà‚  sourire
Pour le faire àà‚©crire
àà‚‰coutez
Les pràà‚©ludes

Qu´il composait pour elle

(She
Was walking her hands
On a harpsichord
And Chopin was considering her
Beautiful
Only had to smile
To make him write
Listen to
The preludes
He was composing for her)

Elle
J´ai tant ràà‚ªvàà‚© d´elle
Parlàà‚© avec elle
Que souvent
Je me prends

Pour elle

(She
I so much dreamed about her
Spoke with her
That often
I take myself
For her)

Elle
Est mon idàà‚©al
La plus grande àà‚©toile
Et je veux
Ressembler
à€ son portrait fidàà‚¨le
Il n´y a qu´elle
Et c´est elle
Mon mod...

(She
Is my ideal
The biggest star
And I want
To look like
Her accurate portrait
The was only her
And it´s her
My model)

Elle
Avait dix-huit ans
Les cheveux au vent
La magie
Des folies
Que l´on faisait pour elle
C´àà‚©tait la plus belle

Je voudrais àà‚ªtre...elle!

(She
Was eighteen years old
Hair in the wind
The magic
Of the irrational things
They were doing for her
She was the most beautiful
I would like to be ...her)
