Lyrics

Paris chéri, mon beau Paris,
C’est toujours toi que j’aime
Paris chéri,
Ton chic naturel est resté le même.
Te revoir, quelle joie extrême !
Dans mon cœur vient de naître un grand bonheur.
Paris chéri,
Pour toujours, c’est toi mon amour.
De loin, à travers le monde, ô mon Paris,
J'étais à toi à chaque seconde.
Lorsque l’on dit: Loin des yeux, loin du cœur,
Moi, je sais que ce proverbe est menteur.
Paris a l’air de me dire:
Oui, ma petite,
J’ai su garder encore le sourire
Et, retrouvant parmi vous tant d’amis,
Il me semble n'être jamais partie.
Paris chéri, mon beau Paris,
C’est toujours toi que j’aime
Paris chéri,
Ton chic naturel est resté le même.
Te revoir, quelle joie extrême !
Dans mon cœur vient de naître un grand bonheur.
Paris chéri,
Pour toujours, c’est toi mon amour.
Paris chéri,
Pour toujours, c’est toi mon amour.

Lyrics translation

Paris Darling, My Beautiful Paris,
It's always you I love
Paris darling,
Your natural chic remained the same.
To see you again, what an extreme joy !
In my heart has just been born great happiness.
Paris darling,
Forever, you are my love.
From afar, across the world, O My Paris,
I was yours every second.
When it is said: far from the eyes, far from the heart,
I know that proverb is a liar.
Paris seems to tell me:
Yes, my dear,
I could still keep smiling
And, finding among you so many friends,
It seems to me he never left.
Paris Darling, My Beautiful Paris,
It's always you I love
Paris darling,
Your natural chic remained the same.
To see you again, what an extreme joy !
In my heart has just been born great happiness.
Paris darling,
Forever, you are my love.
Paris darling,
Forever, you are my love.
