Danse

Dance as much as you can dance, dance around the earth,
Free as a fish in the water, like a bird in the air,
Light as the wind that dances in the trees
Or the mast of a boat dancing under the wave.

Dance as much as you can dance on the cobblestones, on the grass,
On a bistro table, in the shade of taverns.
Come, let yourself be carried away by all the music
That comes from a piano or an old record player.

Dance as much as you can dance, dance around the earth,
Dance in the arms of Margot or Julie from Nanterre,
Dance to find love and madness again,
Dance to dazzle your bored soul.

Dance as much as you can dance, dance around the earth,
To no longer carry on your back death and misery
And you will see the underground springs gush,
And the torrents of joy flowing in your veins.

Dance as much as you can dance, dance around the earth,
Dance for a new spring to sweep away the winters.
Dance as one lives, dance as one loves,
Dance as one writes a poem on the walls.

Dance as much as you can dance, dance around the earth,
Dance as much as you can dance. Come, the ball is open!
Dance as much as you can dance, dance around the earth,
Dance as much as you can dance. Come, the ball is open!
{Ad lib}
