Il fait bon t'aimer [English translation]

One day when I was feeling blue

You drove it away in a flash.

Taking my tears in your hands

You said "You're too beautiful for these jewels!"

For you, I learned to smile

And, since that day, I've known

That it's possible to afraid of death

When one already knows heaven.

Loving you makes me feel so good

You seem to be made for that,

To be snuggled up with your eyes closed,

Your head cradled in my arms.

Your lip calls so strongly for my kisses

I've no need to force myself,

All I have to do is let myself be soothed

And all becomes easy,

Loving you makes me feel so good.

With you I no longer fear,

I feel too well, sheltered,

You have shut the door on unhappiness

It can't come in any more, you're too strong for it

And when, through the streets, I go

I cary my voice in my eyes

As if your kisses were following me

And the people turned around on1 them.

Loving you makes me feel so good

You seem to be made for that,

To be snuggled up with your eyes closed,

Your head cradled in my arms.

Your lip calls so strongly for my kisses

I've no need to force myself,

All I have to do is let myself be soothed

And all becomes easy,

Loving you makes me feel so good.
