Chez Laurette
Michel Delpech
At Laurette's Place
We danced for eight days in Italy
We spent three days in London
The public was won over
We played for the French
The whole room was standing
At the Palais des Sports in Paris
The artist's life is my life
The Bolshoi and the Tours
Make me know great evenings
But when I come back home
Maria Ivanovna, I am glad to see you again
How will this crazy Nicolas do it?
He wanted to stay and live there
If I were far from you and far from Russia
I know myself, I would die of nostalgia
It's true that in France, everything is different
We walk around at midnight and then we talk to people
There are stores where you would like to take everything
And songs in cafes
On the Champs-Élysées, I found for you
Makeup products and also beautiful handkerchiefs
I had a good time
But Maria Ivanovna, I am glad to see you again
How will this crazy Nicolas do it?
He wanted to stay and live there
If I were far from you and far from Russia
I know myself, I would die of nostalgia
I see him again in my arms, Nicolas
I hugged him in a departure lounge
He told me he loved us, Maria Ivanovna
But we'll talk about him another night
He told me he loved us
But tell me about yourself instead
I'm glad to see you again
