Maria and Marcel
Side by side in a bar
They look at each other and take sips
Of their respective drinks.
He wears all red
She fills a crossword puzzle
Ah Maria, Ah Marcel
Who leans in to speak to the other?
Who risks failure?
Who will jump without a net?
He wants to bring her to a dance
She wants him to stay at home.
I'll invite you to wine
I'll be sweet, I'll be friendly
If you want to sit with me,
What a nice moment it will be
We'll close the place down
The night will be so long and the two of us will go together all around this city that's so strange.
And we'll have strong little kids and a house with a balcony.
Marcel extends his arm,
Maria smiles to the air.
But, the season has passed, and they can't find the words.
Tomorrow he'll be able.
Tomorrow she'll be more beautiful.
It's a cold night for April,
There's no place like home. (x8)
