Je l'aime, je l'aime, je l'aime [English translation]

Because I love him,

I'm in slow motion

And I don't want

For anything but him.

Because I love him,

I don't need much more,

A little bouquet of roses

That's enough for me.

Because I love him

I'm a little scared sometimes

Of the stories that I'm carrying around

And that he doesn't know.

But because I love him

I feel ready for anything

And anything is a lot,

For me.

Because I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him

I hum for two

I sing this tune, tune, tune.

Yes, I haven't found a better one.

I don't care, I love him like they love each other

Happy fools.1

They play the same theme,

This theme: I love you.

Because I love him

With an infinite fury,

With a violent sweetness

And all this is me.

I think I love him

With all my adult words,

With my body exulting,

Surrounded by his arms.

Because I love him,

I have nothing more to say,

It's as simple as:

"Will you make love to me".

Because I love him,

Him pressed up against me

I know that's what joy is all about.

Because I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him

I hum for two

I sing this tune, tune, tune.

Yes, I haven't found a better one.

I don't care, I love him like they love each other

Happy fools.1

They play the same theme,

This theme: I love you.

Because I love you,

And you give it back to me,

Because your look, your nose, your mouth, your hands,

Because in the hollow of your lashes,

Furrows are drawn in a river of time,

Paths that wind,

There, there near your temples.

My God, how beautiful you are.

So beautiful on your skin,

The lost traces of day2

Or nights of love.

Because I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him

I hum for two

I sing this tune, tune, tune.

Yes, I haven't found a better one.

I don't care, I love him like they love each other

Happy fools.1

They play the same theme,

This theme: I love you.
