Parlez-moi d'amour [English translation]

Speak to me of love; say tender things to me over and over.

Your beautiful words—my heart never tires of them—

as long as you always repeat the most important ones:

”I love you.”

You know well that, in the end, I will believe none of it.

But, no matter, I still want to hear that word I adore.

Your voice in a loving tone that whispers as it trembles,

cradles me in its beautiful story that, despite myself, I want to believe.

Speak to me of love; say tender things to me over and over.

Your beautiful words—my heart never tires of them—

as long as you always repeat the most important ones:

”I love you.”

It is so sweet, my treasure, to be a bit of a fool.

Life is at times too bitter if we do not believe in illusions.

Disappointment quickly passes and is consoled with a kiss.

One heals a wounded heart with an oath that reassures it.

Speak to me of love; say tender things to me over and over.

Your beautiful words—my heart never tires of them—

as long as you always repeat the most important ones:

”I love you.”
