C´était Un Jour De Fête

Édith Piaf Édith Piaf

It Was a Day of Celebration

1. It was a day of celebration
I think it was springtime
It really blew my mind
I had just turned twenty
He told me I was beautiful
Maybe just to please me
He sang me sweet little songs
With a charming smile

{Chorus:}
He gave me sweet caresses
He made me all these promises
Oh, the promises he made me
Before he became my lover
He gave me wild thrills
Swore he'd love me all the time
So I gave him my youth
That's how you lose your twenties

2. We moved in together
In the Saint-Denis district
At the Beau Rivage Hotel
It smelled like Paris
On the sixth floor
I discovered love
Talk about a journey
What a lovely stay

{Chorus}

3. These stories last
As long as they should last
My little adventure
Sadly, it's come to an end
The beautiful journey's over
Here I am back again
The Beau Rivage Hotel
Still holds my memories

{Chorus}

  1. Hymne à l'amour
  2. La Vie En Rose
  3. Hymn To Love
  4. Le ça ira
  5. Milord
  6. La Foule
