Mon amant de Saint-Jean

I don't know why I went to dance
In Saint-Jean with the musette,
But when a guy kissed me,
I shivered, I was taken
How not to lose my mind,
Held by daring arms
Because one always believes
In sweet words of love
When they are said with the eyes
I who loved him so much,
I found him the most beautiful in Saint-Jean,
I was intoxicated
Without will
Under his kisses.

Without thinking, I gave him
The best of my being
Smooth talker every time he lied,
I knew it, but I loved him.
How not to lose my mind,
Held by daring arms
Because one always believes
In sweet words of love
When they are said with the eyes
I who loved him so much,
I found him the most beautiful in Saint-Jean,
I was intoxicated
Without will
Under his kisses.

But alas, in Saint-Jean like elsewhere
A promise is just a deception
I was crazy to believe in happiness,
And to want to keep his heart.
How not to lose my mind,
Held by daring arms
Because one always believes
In sweet words of love
When they are said with the eyes
I who loved him so much,
My beautiful love, my lover from Saint-Jean,
He doesn't love me anymore
It's in the past
Let's not talk about it anymore.
