Plus Bleu Que Tes Yeux

Charles Aznavour

Bluer Than Your Eyes

When I lift my eyes,
I meet the sky
And I say to myself: "Oh my God,
But it's sensational,
So much blue."
When I lift my eyes,
I meet your eyes
And I say to myself: "Oh my God,
It's truly wonderful,
So much blue.

Bluer than the blue of your eyes,
I see nothing better,
Not even the blue of the skies.
Blonder than your golden hair
Cannot be imagined,
Not even the blonde of the wheat.
Purer than your breath so sweet,
The wind, even in August,
Cannot be sweeter.
Stronger than my love for you,
The sea, even in fury,
Does not come close.
Bluer than the blue of your eyes,
I see nothing better,
Not even the blue of the skies.

If one day you were to leave
And abandon me,
My destiny would suddenly change
Completely.

Grayer than the gray of my life,
Nothing would be grayer,
Not even a rainy sky.
Blacker than the black of my heart,
The earth in its depths
Would not have its darkness.
Emptier than my days without you,
No bottomless pit
Would come close.
Longer than my love sorrow,
Even eternity
Would be short next to it.
Grayer than the gray of my life,
Nothing would be grayer,
Not even a rainy sky.

It's wrong to think, I know,
About tomorrow.
Why complicate life
When today...
