Un premier amour [English translation]

A first love, first love, first love

Is never forgotten, never forgotten, never forgotten

A first love, we always look for it

In other loves, we pursue it our whole life

It confused us and made us dream and made us tremble

This first love, first love, first love

But the child that we are, the child that we remained

Will always hum in memory of this love

And you, you that I loved

What did you make of yourself?

What did you do without me?

And me, me who lost you

What have I done more?

Was I so much more lucky?

Did we actually know.....

A first love, first love, first love

Is never forgotten, never forgotten, never forgotten

A first love, we always look for it

In other loves, we pursue it our whole life

That all these kisses that we have stolen rather than given

These innocent gestures engaged us for so long

No, the children we still were back then

Didn't suspect much, they were delighted

That a first love, their first love was so strong
