The Paris of a hundred years ago

How beautiful life is!

Come with me on the journey into the past

For you to get amused

And learn what happiness is

Because all our worries live only till tomorrow

Live only till the day after tomorrow

Because nobody can tell

Who we happen to kiss tonight

Who we happen to kiss tonight in Paris!

And it joyfully and peacefully went on for days on end

But all its songs

Keep ringing out

So like a hundred years ago

Paris stays forever young!
