(R. Asso/M. Monnot)
|
Originally performed by Edith Piaf
|
|
I used to know a little square
|
So long ago, when I was small
|
All summer long it had a fair
|
Wonderful fair with swings and all
|
I used to love my little fair
|
And at the close of everyday
|
|
I could be found, dancing around
|
A merry-go-round that used to play...
|
|
"Ah, mon amour
|
A toi toujours
|
Dans tes grands yeux
|
Rien que nous deux"
|
|
All summer long my little fair
|
Made everyday like a holiday
|
Night after night it used to play
|
And people came there from so far away
|
And everyone sang that little tune
|
All around town you heard it played
|
|
Even Pepi from Napoli
|
He sang to Marie
|
This serenade...
|
|
"Ah, mon amour
|
A toi toujours
|
Dans tes grands yeux
|
Rien que nous deux"

|
|
I can't forget my little square
|
Even though I'm so far away
|
I can't forget my little fair
|
Maybe it's still there, still there today
|
I sometimes hear that little tune
|
playing in a dream of long ago
|
|
And in my brain runs the refrain
|
That old French refrain I used to know...
|
|
"Ah, mon amour
|
A toi toujours
|
Dans tes grands yeux
|
Rien que nous deux"
