Elle était si jolie [English translation]

Oh, she was so beauti/ful

That I dared not love her.

Oh, she was so beautiful

I cannot forget her

Oh, she was too beauti/ful,

When winds blew her away,

She escaped joyfully -y

And to me the wind said

( and t'me the wind would say)

Oh , she's way too beauti/ful

And I know you too well

Loving her for ever-er

You' ll never be able

Yes, but she's gone away

It's silly but it's real.

Oh, she was so beauti/ful

I' ll never forget her.

And today, it is autumn

I weep very often

And today, it is autumn

How distant seems the spring!

In the park, where shudder -er

The leaves in the bad wind,

Her dress swirls, whirls and curls

And then, she's gone away...

Oh, she was so beauti/ful

That I dared not love her

Oh, she was so beauti/ful

I cannot forget her.

Oh, she was too beautiful,

When winds blew her away,

Oh, she was so beauti/ful

I'll never forget her.
