I was walking on the avenue
My heart open to the unknown
I wanted to say hello
to anybody
Anybody was you
and I said anything to you.
Speaking to you was enough
to soften you.
On the Champs-Elysees
On the Champs-Elysees
In the sun, in the rain
At midday or at midnight
There's everything you want
On the Champs-Elysees
You told me, "I have a date
In a basement with some mad guys
Who play guitar
From dusk til dawn"
So I went with you
We sang, we dansed
And we didn't even think
of kissing.
On the Champs-Elysees
On the Champs-Elysees
In the sun, in the rain
At midday or at midnight
There's everything you want
On the Champs-Elysees
Last night, two strangers
And this morning on the avenue
Two lovers, dazed
by the long night
And from l'Etoile to the Concorde
An orchestra of a thousand chords
All the morning birds
sing of love
On the Champs-Elysees
On the Champs-Elysees
In the sun, in the rain
At midday or at midnight
There's everything you want
On the Champs-Elysees
On the Champs-Elysees
On the Champs-Elysees
In the sun, in the rain
At midday or at midnight
There's everything you want
On the Champs-Elysees
