J'aime Paris [English translation]

I love Paris, my village.

I love Paris, my garden.

I love Paris in the picture in my bedroom.

I love Paris under a storm in September.

I love Paris on the stage of the Casino de Paris—

interpreted by all the painters of the butte and in their eyes as well.

It is a Paris of tenderness of which I sing to you today—

a memory that comes to me during vacation

a great love of youthful years filled with France.

I love the Paris Notre Dame, to which I return today

and my soul will always live between two islands because my heart is here.

(I love Paris, my village. I love Paris, my garden.)

(I love Paris in the picture in my bedroom.)

(I love Paris under a storm in September.)

I love Paris on the stage of the Casino de Paris—

and my dreams will always live between two islands because my heart is here.
