On nous dit souventWe’re often told,
Que l’amour a plusieurs langagesThat love has many languages.
Mais le véritable n’est pas à la portée de tousBut true love isn’t within everyone’s reach.
Si on m’avait préditIf someone had predicted,
Que je trouv’rai aussi ce langageThat I’d find this language too,
J’avoue j’aurai pas cruI admit I wouldn’t have believed it.
