La dernière valse [English translation]

The prom was going to end soon

Should I go or stay?

The orchestra was about to play the very last piece

When I saw you pass beside me.

It was the last waltz

No longer was my heart in need of love

Together this waltz

We danced into eternity.

We loved each other for a long time, always dearly

Our joys our sorrows had the same chord

And then one day I saw your eyes change

You broke my heart when you said good-bye.

It was the last waltz

My heart was left alone without love

And yet this waltz could have lasted forever.

And like that life passes, all turned out well

Only the waltz and my tears remain.

La la la la la la la la la la

It was the last waltz

My heart was left alone without love

And yet this waltz could have lasted forever.

La la la la la la la la la la
