Le temps des fleurs
Dalida
The time of flowers
In a tavern in old London
Where strangers gathered
Our voices filled with joy rose from the shadows
And we listened to our hearts sing
It was the time of flowers
We knew no fear
The tomorrows tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la
(We were young and believed in heaven)
And then came the misty days
With strange noises and tears
How many moonless nights I spent
Searching for the tavern in my heart
Just like in the time of flowers
Where we lived without fear
Where each day tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la
(We were young and believed in heaven)
I imagined chasing away the mist
I believed I could turn back time
And I invented moonlight
Where we both sang as before
It was the time of flowers
We knew no fear
The tomorrows tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la
(We were young and believed in heaven)
And tonight I stand at the door
Of the tavern where you will no longer come
And the song that the night brings me
My heart no longer recognizes
It was the time of flowers
We knew no fear
The tomorrows tasted like honey
Your arm took mine
Your voice followed mine
We were young and believed in heaven
La, la, la
(We were young and believed in heaven)
