In the city of love it's easy to fall in love
That's what everyone told me when they told me goodbye
I thought with another girl by the Seine,
I would get over you after a while.
In the city of love, it's a punishment to be alone
While others kiss, and I don't feel like it
Because the damn heart only looks for you
But the return ticket your way is not valid.
(Chorus)
I would give all the gates of Paris
For the old gate to your yard.
You just give me a sign, I'll come back on foot
From here to your street.
The parks and the lights of the grand Paris,
(Even if every girl here was like Mona Lisa)
I would trade all that
For the thousand steps
That lead to your street.
When I look the trains that go your way
Those are the hardest moments for me to keep my dignity
I still won't surrender and I pack my suitcase
This very moment - to set off to you
Send me some kind of a sign, the motive will be strong
For me to forget the love city's name
Because the damn heart only looks for you
But the return ticket your way isn't valid
