J'aime Paris Au Mois de Mai

I love Paris in the month of May
When the buds are reborn
When a new youth
Takes hold of the old city
Which begins to shine
I love Paris in the month of May
When winter leaves it
When the sun caresses
Its old roofs barely awake

I love to feel on the squares
In the streets where I pass
That scent of lily of the valley that is chased away
By the passing wind
I enjoy walking
Through the streets that wind
Throughout the whole city
I love, I love Paris in the month of May

I love Paris in the month of May
When the day breaks
The streets emerging from the dream
After a very light sleep
Coquettes beautify themselves again
I love Paris in the month of May
When suddenly everything comes alive
With an anonymous world
Happy to see the sun shining

I love when the wind brings me
Noises of all kinds
And the gossip that is spread
From door to door
I enjoy walking
In the bustling streets
While flirting with the girls
I love, I love Paris in the month of May

I love Paris in the month of May
With its booksellers
And its watercolorists
That spring has brought back
As every year along the quays
I love Paris in the month of May
The Seine that waters it
And a thousand little things
That I couldn't explain

I love when the severe night
Spreads peace on earth
And the city suddenly lights up
With millions of lights
I enjoy walking
Contemplating the shop windows
The night that fascinates me
I love, I love Paris in the month of May
