Quand J'Aime Une Fois J'Aime Pour Toujours

I marked with a cross
The fence of your yard,
I went back home
Through the emergency exit.

I whispered to myself:
"No, this isn't my day,
Her heart's a strait,
Her eyes a crossroads."

I grabbed the harmonica,
Went down to the yard
And under the lilac
I sang without holding back:

When I love once,
I love forever.
{2x}

Love's a tournament
Where clumsy warriors fall
One after another,
Drowned in their bravado.

If that's what you believe,
If that's your speech,
Be sure that a prey
Will become your vulture.

So what are you doing there,
Locked up in your tower?
I want to break the rules
That govern your love life.

When I love once,
I love forever.
{2x}

You'll hear my voice
In the sky of the neighborhood.
I'll move toward you
With the eyes of a deaf man.

Don't you already hear
The countdown?
Open your porch,
Announce my return.

I'll charge like a bear
With velvet paws.
I want to touch
The skin of your drum.

When I love once,
I love forever.
{2x}

I'll charge like a bear
With velvet paws.
I want to touch
The skin of your drum.

When I love once,
I love forever.
{2x}
