Now playing on my French song playlist:

Title: Hymne à l’amour

Songwriters: Marguerite Monnot, Edith Piaf

Performed by: Christiane Brisseau

Lyrics I like:

J’irais jusqu’au bout du monde

Je me ferais teindre en blonde

Si tu me le demandais

J’irais décrocher la lune

J’irais voler la fortune

Si tu me le demandais

 

Je renierais ma patrie

Je renierais mes amis

Si tu me le demandais

On peut bien rire de moi

Je ferais n’importe quoi

Si tu me le demandais

Translation:

I would go to the ends of the earth

I would dye my hair blonde

If you asked me to do it

I would reach for the moon

I would steal a fortune

If you asked me to do it

I would deny my homeland

I would disown my friends

If you asked me to do it

You can laugh at me

I would do anything

If you asked me to do it

I like to listen to songs en français, so I won’t forget the French I learned in school! Are you studying French? I hope you’ll find this series entertaining and helpful, too!

Until the next Music Monday, have a good week ahead!
