Je ne parle pas français [English translation]

Somehow, I got lost

I have no plan where to go

Standing there with my little suitcase

Here at the Champs-Elysees

Suddenly you say to me:

"Hello, what are you looking for?"

I say: "Excuse me, I'm sorry

Unfortunately, I can't understand you"

But you just keep speaking

I find it somehow charming

And I draw two cups of coffee

On your hand, with a pen

I don't speak French

But please, do keep talking

Everything you tell me

Sounds so nice somehow

And time just stands still

I wish I could understand you

I don't speak French,

But please, do keep talking

Your long, wild hair

The little scar on your face

Even the dust on your jeans

Has spirit, when you speak

The cigarette tastes like liberty

As long as we both share it

You talk to me in body language

And I read between the lines

I hang on your lips

I don't ever want to leave here

And you keep talking and talking

But I don't understand a word

I don't speak French

But please, do keep talking

Everything you tell me

Sounds so nice somehow

And time just stands still

I wish I could understand you

I don't speak French,

But please, do keep talking

The sun slips behind the houses

Ships go past us

And all that we want

Is for the moment to last forever

Thousands of people around us

They're all talking to each other

But the language, that we speak

Only we two understand

I don't speak French

But please, do keep talking

Everything you tell me

Sounds so nice somehow

And time just stands still

I wish I could understand you

I don't speak French,

But please, do keep talking
