Alons, viens encore, cherie.
J´attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue.

Then I may end.

She had things to buy.
I close my eyes.
Yet I don´t know why.
I gave her money; said she knew someone.
And she said she won´t be long.

Lamplight
keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight
keep on burning till this love of yours is mine.

I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed .
Then saw your face in an old photograph.
I didn´t think that I could live without you but what am I to do ?

Lamplight

keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight
keep on burning till this love of yours is mine
Come home again dear.

I have waited year after year under the lamp in our old avenue.
If all in the world that´s laughing, why should it make us cry? Ah...
