Typical french song. When I heard the original song, I thought I wouldn't like it, as I don't like that kind of song. But Céline's voice is great, and it's always nice to hear her sing nesw things.

I love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

VIVE PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LD1977]

Yeaaaaah, I want a video for that song! Céline who is at the famous places in Paris and a romantic clip, maybe with René in it? LOL, that would be fantastic!!! Like the video for Truly, madly, deeply from Savage Garden. In a kind of different colour, sort of black and white but with some colours in it, they are looking for each other anywhere in the city, you see famous spots (this is the ppart where they promote Paris) and at the end they find each other... Sooooooooooooo romantic! *sigh*

[Kye]

amazing

[Koolan]

I love this song, it's so French. Paris must win the bid Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala

[Fanny!]

English translation of the lyrics:

In Paris

When a love blossoms

It creates for weeks

Two hearts which smile to each other

Just because they're in love

In Paris

 

During spring

On the rooves the weathercock

Spin and tease the wind

With the first wind

That goes by uninterested

heedlessly

 

'Cause the wind

When it comes to Paris

has only one worry

which is to go waste its time

In all the wealthy districts

Of Paris

 

The sun

which is its old mate

is at the party too

And like two schoolboys

They go happily

To Paris

 

Since the taking of the Bastille

In Paris

In all the suburbs

And at each crossroads

There are boys

And there are girls

Who dance on the cobblestones

All day long

Turning

and turning

In Paris

Yes

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh perfect, perfect, perfect!!!!!

 

I really love this song for what it is: an old-fashioned french song. And Céline lived up to it, she made it sound perfect.

 

My dear Céline never let's me down, she rocks!

[piglot82]

It is a song that would have to grow on me. I don't particularly like the style but Celine voice is perfect. I would love for Paris to get the bid it would be wonderful to see Celine sing at the olympics again.

[CelineTheBest5]

Celine´s voice WWWWWWWWWWOW So great!

[ahmed]

thanks
