Le soir qui descend doucement
Les fleurs qui se fanent lentement
Et tous ces bateaux
Qui ne vont plus sur l’eau
Tout me dit que l’?t? est fini

The evening is gently falling
The flowers are slowly fading
The boats are all moored to shore
Everything tells me that summer is over

Le ciel qui soudain devient gris
L?-bas, les nuages et la pluie
Les feuilles qui sont mortes
Et que le vent emporte
Tout me dit que l’?t? est fini

The sky is suddenly turning grey
Above, the clouds and the rain
The leaves are falling
And are carried away by the wind
Everything tells me that the summer is over

Oh, plus une ?toile au loin me scintille
La lune inutile et p?le
L’espoir m’abandonne
Il n’y a plus personne
Puis, d?j? c’est l’automne

Oh, another star twinkles from afar
The moon is weak and pale
There is hope no more
There’s no one there
And then it’s already autumn

L?-bas, les oiseaux sont partis
L’amour que j’avais s’est enfuit
Les larmes dans les yeux
Je lui ai dit adieu
C’est ainsi que l’?t? a fini

Above, the birds have flown away
The love that I had has gone
With tears in my eyes
I said goodbye to him
That’s how summer ended

Oh, plus une ?toile au loin me scintille
La lune inutile et p?le
L’espoir m’abandonne
Il n’y a plus personne
Puis, d?j? c’est l’automne

Oh, another star twinkles from afar
The moon is weak and pale
There is hope no more
There’s no one there
And then it’s already autumn

L?-bas, les oiseaux sont partis
L’amour que j’avais s’est enfuit
Les larmes dans les yeux
Je lui ai dit adieu
C’est ainsi que l’?t? a fini
C’est ainsi que l’?t? a fini

Above, the birds have flown away
The love that I had has gone
With tears in my eyes
I said goodbye to him
That’s how summer ended
That’s how summer ended

C’est ainsi que l’?t? a fini

That’s how summer ended

And I am your child
Wherever you go
You take me too
Whatever I know
I learned from you
Whatever I do
You taught me to do
I am your child
And I am your chance

Whatever will come
Will come from me
Tomorrow is won
By winning me
Whatever I am
You taught me to be
I am your hope
I am your chance
And I am your child

Whatever I am
You taught me to be
I am your hope
I am your chance
And I am your child

I’m curious, I wanna know
I’m an idealist, I’ll let it show
I’m curious with myself
I’m delirious from wanting

The noise that announces a seduction
I’m a volcano
In a state of eruption
I live life with a wild intensity
Need to be aroused
To the point of intimacy

What are your motives?
I got to know
I’m doing research
I got to know
What are your motives?
I got to know
Tell me your motives, oh, oh

‘Cause I’m curious, I wanna know
I’m an idealist, I’ll let it show
I’m curious with myself
I’m delirious from wanting

The fusing, the melting of two bodies
I’m addicted to lethal sexuality
I live life on the edge of ecstasy
Need to be desired
Nothing else fulfils me

What are your motives?
I got to know
I’m doing research
I got to know
What are your motives?
I got to know
Tell me your motives, ooh, ooh

I’m curious, I wanna know
I’m an idealist, I’ll let it show
I’m curious with myself
I’m delirious from wanting

I’m curious, I wanna know
I’m an idealist, I’ll let it show
I’m curious with myself
I’m delirious from wanting

Yes, I’m curious, I wanna know
I’m an idealist, I’ll let it show
I am curious with myself
Too delirious from singing
‘Cause I’m curious, I wanna know
I’m an idealist, I’ll let it show
I’m curious with myself
I’m delirious from wanting

Trees that grow without ground
Young leaves that fall in spring
Ground hogs tell me play games
My games would reel the world
Ring around the pine tree
Smile a game around the sunsweep
Cry a game across the moonbeam
Across the earthbound gypsy

Flowers build a green wall
Blue flowers bloom in sand
People tell me play games
My games would reel the world
Ring around the seaweed
Ring your name around the sunsweep
Cry your name across the moonbeam
Tell the earthbound gypsy

Play your gypsy game in my world
Give your magic word to the people
Who live in the underground world without sun
In the world without moonbeams
The village down deep without

Purple leaves that seem red
Grape vines that smile in fall
Zebras tell me play games
My games would spill the world
Ring around the bean tree
Jump a game around the sunsweep, moonbeam
Magic earthbound gypsy
Jump the fence

Play your gypsy game in my world
Give your magic word to the people
Who live in the underground world without sun
In the world without moonbeams
The village down deep without

Purple leaves that seem red
Grape vines that smile in fall
Zebras tell me play games
My games would spill the world
Ring around the bean tree
Jump a game around the sunsweep, moonbeam

Magic earthbound gypsy
Jump the fence
Hah!

(Baby don’t you know?)
Tonight you’ll take away my sorrow
(Baby don’t you know?)
That it will all come back tomorrow
When we have to part
(Why, why) do I go on loving you?
(Baby don’t you know?)
How much I want my arms about you?
(Baby don’t you know?)
This emptiness I feel without you
Close to my heart
(Close to my heart)

Don’t ever, ever say goodbye
(Say goodbye)
Unless you wanna see, wanna see me cry
(Baby don’t you know?)
That we were meant to be together
(Baby don’t you know?)
The thought of leaving you forever
Tears me apart
(Tears me apart)

I’ll never say goodbye to you
(Say goodbye to you)
Unless you really want, really want me to
(Baby don’t you know?)
I wanna spend my life loving you

(Close to my heart)
Don’t ever, ever say goodbye
(Don’t say goodbye)
Unless you wanna see, wanna see me cry
(Baby don’t you know?)
That we were meant to be together
(Baby don’t you know?)
The thought of leaving you forever
Tears me apart
(Tears me apart)

I’ll never say goodbye to you
(Say goodbye to you)
Unless you really want, really want me to
(Baby don’t you know?)
I wanna spend my life loving you
(Baby don’t you know?)
I wanna spend my life loving you
(Baby don’t you know?)
(Baby don’t you know?)
I wanna spend my life, ooh,ooh
(Baby don’t you know?)

(Ooh, ooh, baby blue)
(What’s wrong with you?)
Ooh, yeah
Getting back to business, baby
Just believe in me
Forget the things the wise men say
That’s our philosophy

(I want you now)
I’ve got the feeling you want me, too
(Show you how)
Oh, oh
Gonna catch a shaft of light
Shine it in your eyes
Gonna see what’s on your mind
Before you realise

(I want you now)
I’ve got the feeling you want me, too
(Show you how)
Ooh, hoo

(Ooh, baby blue)
(What’s wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(Ooh, baby blue)
(What can I do?)
Why don’t you let me through to you?, oh, yeah, oh

If I follow my desire
Come inside your heart
It would be impossible
To stop what we might start

(I want you now)
I’ve got the feeling you want me, too
(Show you how), so

(Ooh, baby blue)
(What’s wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(Ooh, baby blue)
(What can I do?)
Why don’t you let me through to you?

(Ooh, ooh, baby blue)
(What’s wrong with you, baby blue?)
(Ooh, ooh, baby blue)
What can I do?

If I follow my desire
Come inside your heart
It would be impossible
To stop what we might start

I want you now
I’ve got the feeling you want me, too
(Show you how, ooh)
(Ooh, baby blue)
(What’s wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(Ooh, baby blue)
(What can I do?)
Why don’t you let me through to you?
Ooh, baby blue
(What’s wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(Ooh, baby blue)
(What can I do?)
Why don’t you try to let me through to you?
(Ooh, baby blue)
Oh, baby blue
(What’s wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(Ooh, baby blue)
(What can I do?)
Oh, baby blue
