Nancy in winter, a wet snow
A girl entered in a cafe
Me, I drink my drink, she sat near by
I don't know how to approach her (1)
The rain, the good weather, it's noting great
But it's good for breaking the ice (2)
Then comes the moment we speak about ourselves
And the snow melted underneath our steps
We met at the cafe of three doves
A date of love without shelter
We were good, we were feeling all alone in the world
We had nothing, but we had all of life
Nancy in spring, it resembled the south (3)
She loved me, and I loved her too
We walked and talked, we remade philosophy
I take (her) photo a thousand times
The little bistros all over the place
Set out their terraces in the sun (4)
But there was too much light and noise
We waited for the night to come
We saw each other at the cafe of three doves
A date of love without shelter
We were good, we were feeling all alone in the world
We had nothing, but we had all of life
Nancy, it's too far, at the edge of the earth (5)
It gets farther away each anniversary
But I'm certain, my worries remember it
The happiness went by the Lorraine (6)
She went away to follow other paths
That don't often cross mine
I forget you, but it's stronger than me
It happens of me to think of you
We saw each other at the cafe of three doves
A date of love without shelter
We were good, we were feeling all alone in the world
We had nothing, but we had all of life
