Coeur De Parisienne - Reprise d'Arletty - Rufus Wainwright

They say of me that I have a pretty face

And so I am told

And this compliment pleases me

I seems that I have a funny accent

Beautiful funny and unsettling

That brings a caressing look

I appear to see life in pink

But my heart dreams of something else

To love sincerly from my tender heart

The one that could understand me

And if necessary to defend me

To love, oh!

I want him so much to come

The one that will sooth the sadness

Of my Parisian soul

Alone alas I am from now on

And yet I believed

I read in his eyes that he loved me

He lied

I will not die from it

Barely will I suffer

But not to the point of losing my beauty

I appear to see life in pink

But my heart dreams of something else

To love sincerly from my tender heart

The one that could understand me

And if necessary to defend me

To love, oh!

I want him so much to come

The one that will sooth the sadness

Of my Parisian soul
