Elle [English translation]

She is 18 years old

Her hair is in the wind

She has the figure of a swan

That's spreading its wings

She speaks with the accent

Of a singing bird

And all the musicians

They turned so that they could see her

She had all the splendor

Of that century

Where the waltz was the queen

Where love was the king

In a sky of laces

Unreal

She put her hands

On a harpsichord

And Chopin loved her

Chopin thought she was gorgeous

She didn't have to smile

To make them write

Listen to the preludes

That have been composed to her

I have dreamed so much of her

I spoke to her

I often

Took it for her

She is my ideal

The biggest star

And I see it looking like

A faithful self-portrait

There isn't anything

And she is my role model

She is 18 years old

Her hair is in the wind

The magic of the madnesses

That people have for her

She is the most beautiful person

I wish I were her
