[English]
So...
3, 4...
Hey!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
She leaves her bed
So sure of herself
The Seine, the Seine, the Seine
So lovely
She enchants me
The Seine, the Seine, the Seine
Extra-lucid
The moon is on
The Seine, the Seine, the Seine
You’re not deaf
Paris is deaf
The scene, the scene, the scene
I don’t know, don’t know
Don’t know why
We love each other like this
The Seine and me
I don’t know, don’t know
Don’t know why
We love each other like this
The Seine and me
You, you, you, you
Extra-lucid
When you’re on
The scene, the scene, the scene
Extravagant
When the angel is on
The scene, the scene, the scene
I don’t know, don’t know
Don’t know why
We love each other like this
The Seine and me
I don’t know, don’t know
Don’t know why
We love each other like this
The Seine and me...
On the Pont des Arts
My heart wavers
Between two waters
The air is so good
This air so pure
I breathe it in
Our reflections caught
On this bridge
...
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
We love each other like this
The Seine and me
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
We love each other like this
The Seine and me
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
We love each other like this
The scene and me
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
We love each other like this
The Seine and me...

Key Grammar Structures

  • Elle sort de son lit

    ➔ Present tense of a verb followed by the preposition de + noun

    ➔ The verb "sort" is in the present tense and takes the preposition "de" before the noun "son lit".

  • Tellement jolie

    ➔ Intensifier "tellement" + adjective

    "Tellement" intensifies the adjective "jolie", meaning "so beautiful".

  • Je ne sais pas pourquoi

    ➔ Negative statement with "ne...pas" + interrogative "pourquoi"

    "Je" "ne" "sais" "pas" forms the negative "I don't know"; "pourquoi" adds the question "why".

  • On s'aime comme ça

    ➔ Pronoun "on" + reflexive verb + comparative "comme"

    "On" (we/people) "s'" (reflexive pronoun) "aime" (love) means "we love each other"; "comme ça" means "like this".

  • Tu n'es pas sourd

    ➔ Negative form "ne...pas" with verb "être"

    "Tu" "n'" (contracted "ne") "es" "pas" creates the negative "you are not"; "sourd" means "deaf".

  • Quand tu es sur la scène

    ➔ Temporal clause introduced by "quand" + present tense

    "Quand" means "when"; the clause "tu es sur la scène" is in the present, indicating a condition that occurs "when you are on stage".

  • Entre deux eaux

    ➔ Prepositional phrase with "entre" (between) + plural noun

    "Entre" means "between"; together with "deux eaux" (two waters) it forms "between two waters".

  • L'air est si bon

    ➔ Intensifier "si" + adjective in a descriptive clause

    "si" intensifies the adjective "bon" meaning "so good", so the sentence means "the air is so good".
