J'ai deux amours [English translation]

They say beyond the seas,

There beneath the pale sky,

There exists a city, an enchanted escape.

And under the big black trees,

each night,

Towards it go all my hopes.

I have two loves.

My country and Paris.

Always by these two

My heart is delighted.

Manhattan is beautiful,

But what good to deny it:

What bewitches me, is Paris,

it's only Paris.

To see it one day,

that's my dearest wish.

I have two loves,

my country and Paris.

Manhattan is beautiful,

But what good to deny it:

What bewitches me, is Paris,

it's only Paris.

To see it one day,

that's my dearest wish.

I have two loves,

my country and Paris.
