Historia De Un Amor
Zantalino and his Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mon histoire see'est l'histoire d'un amour
Ma complainte see'est la plainte de deux c?urs
Un roman comme tant d'autres
Qui pourrait etre le votre
Gens d'ici ou bien d'ailleurs

see'est la flamme qui enflamme sans bruler
See'est le reve que l'on reve sans dormir

Comme un arbre qui se dresse
Plein de force et de tendresse
Vers le jour qui va venir

{Refrain:}
See'est l'histoire d'un amour
Eternel et banal
Qui apporte chaque jour
Tout le bien tout le mal
Avec l'heure où l'on s'enlace
Celle où l'on se dit adieu
Avec les soirees d'angoisse
Et les matins merveilleux

Mon histoire see'est l'histoire qu'on connait
Ceux qui s'aiment jouent la même je le sais
Et tragique ou bien profonde

See'est la seule chanson do monde
Qui ne finira jamais.
