C'est si bon
Bert Kaempfert and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'est si bon,
De partir n'I'm porte ou,
Bras desus bras dessous,
En chantant des chansons,

C'est si bon,
De se dir' desmots doux,
Des petite rien do tout,
Mais qui en dissent long.

C'est si bon,
Lovers say that in France,
When they thrill to romance,
It means that it's so good.

C'est si bon,
So I say it to you,
Like the French people do,
Because it's oh, so good.

Every word, every sigh,
Every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought,
And it's this, dear,
Nothing else can replace,
Just your slightest embrace,
And if you only would be my own,
For the rest of my days,




I will whisper this phrase,
My darling, C'est si bon!
