Mais aime-la [English translation]

Your luck has turned, your love life

changed for the better and the worse.

What you were set to get

never, never came.

The summer heat and winter snows

always, always went by

but I only could think

of one advice to give you

Love her

and keep her very close to you

Love her

and keep her cradled in your arms

Love is fickle, love don't come easy.

it fades and breaks, it's so fragile

Do you realize how lucky you are1

when love is around?

Love her

And, if she agrees, don't leave her

Love her

and let her go wherever she wants

Love is blue or dark, it is hesitant

It decides in a day the rest of your life

Do you realize how lucky you are

when love is around?

You'll experience hours of smiling and weeping

and building up memories

but when your time is up

you'll have nothing to regret.

The summer heat and winter snows

can go by all they want

I will never think

of another advice to give you

Love her

and keep her very close to you

Love her

and keep her cradled in your arms

Love is fickle, love don't come easy.

it fades and breaks, it's so fragile

Do you realize how lucky you are

when love is around?

Love her

And, if she agrees, don't leave her

Love her

and let her go wherever she wants

Love is blue or dark, it is hesitant

It decides in a day the rest of your life

Do you realize how lucky you are

when love is around?

Love her (x10)

Love is blue or dark, it is hesitant

It decides in a day the rest of your life

Do you realize how lucky you are

when love is around?
