Our Last Summer
Лучшая новогодняя музыка - ABBA Lyrics

The summer air was soft and warm
It was summertime in Paris and the air was mild and soothing

The feeling right, the Paris night
Everything felt perfect, especially the pleasant sensation of being in Paris at night

Did it's best to please us
The city of Paris seemed to make every effort to make their night unforgettable and enjoyable

And strolling down the Elysee
They were meandering along the French boulevard called the Champs-Élysées, which has perfectly lined trees and beautiful shops and cafes

We had a drink in each cafe
They stopped by many cafes along the way and had a drink in each one

And you
And you (the listener, or perhaps Harry who is mentioned later on in the song)

You talked of politics, philosophy and I
You discussed topics such as politics and philosophy, while I listened and enjoyed your company

Smiled like Mona Lisa
I smiled in a mysterious way, similar to the smile that's famous from the Mona Lisa painting

We had our chance
We had the opportunity to experience a beautiful and genuine romance together

It was a fine and true romance
The love that we shared during that summer was pure, real and beautiful

I can still recall our last summer
I can vividly remember the memories of that last summer in Paris with you

I still see it all
The memories are still fresh in my mind, as though it happened just yesterday

Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
We took walks along the Seine river, even when it was raining and we found joy in it

Our last summer
The summer where we fell in love with each other and made priceless memories we still cherish

Memories that remain
The memories we made that summer have stayed with us and are still cherished, even though the summer has long passed

We made our way along the river
We walked along the riverbanks and took in the beautiful sights of the city

And we sat down in the grass
We found a spot by the river where we could sit on the grass and enjoy the view together

By the Eiffel tower
We were sitting close to the Eiffel tower, another iconic location in Paris

I was so happy we had met
I felt incredibly happy and grateful for the coincidence that brought us together and led us to that summer in Paris

It was the age of no regret
The time of our lives when we were not afraid to take chances and live without regret

Oh yes
There was excitement and enthusiasm in our adventurous lives at that time

Those crazy years, that was the time
The years we spent together in Paris were the most unconventional and wild ones for us

Of the flower-power
Our lifestyle was free-spirited and rejected the old-fashioned norms and societal expectations of that generation

But underneath we had a fear of flying
Although we lived freely, we secretly struggled with the fear of losing it all and becoming caged again

Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
We were scared of losing our youth and passion with time and age, and dying a little every day

We took the chance
Despite our fears, we chose to take a leap of faith and dive into the unknown together

Like we were dancing our last dance
We lived every day carefree and joyfully, as if it was our last dance in life

In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
We took a trip to the famous Notre Dame cathedral, even though it was crowded with tourists

Walking hand in hand
We walked side by side, holding hands and enjoying each other's company

Paris restaurants
We dined in various restaurants around Paris, one of the most recognized culinary destinations in the world

Morning croissants
We indulged in the delectable buttery French pastries every morning for breakfast, a sweet reminder of our time in Paris

Living for the day, worries far away
We lived every moment fully, without considering what the future held, and without any worries in our minds

And now you're working in a bank
Looking back at how we met in Paris, you're now working in a mundane job in a bank

A family man, a football fan
You have settled down with a family and your interests now lie mainly in sports

And your name is Harry
You're now known by the name Harry

How dull it seems
Compared to the free-spirited and exciting times we had in Paris, your current life seems dull and unexciting

Yet you're the hero of my dreams
Despite the fact that your life today is different, you're still a hero in my eyes and the love we shared and the memories we created in Paris are still cherished
