BOLÉRO
(Henri Contet / Paul Durand) (1948)

Georges Guétary (France)


Comme en rêve
La nuit qui se lève
Allume une flamme
Au fond de nos âmes
Soleil de tes yeux
Instant merveilleux
Pour que je prenne
Ta main dans la mienne
Dis-moi, quand tu danses
Des mots d'espérance
Dis-moi ton désir
Comme un premier soupir

Boléro
Dans la douceur du soir
Sous le ciel rouge et noir
Où chantent les guitares
Boléro
Si tu voulais danser
Dans mes deux bras serrée
Qu'il ferait bon s'aimer
Viens, mon amour t'appelle
Viens, danser encor'
Boléro
Je garderai toujours
Le souvenir du jour
Où j'ai dansé l'amour
Aïe Aïe Aïe Aïe Aïe Aïe Aïe Aïe Aïe

All my love, I give you all my love,
The skies may fall, my love,
But I will still be true.

All my sighs will disappear at last,
Now that you're here at last,
My heart belongs to you.

Oh, don't you ever let me go,
You thrill me so.

I can see, as I recall my life,
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.

VERSE:
Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero
To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita,
She's waiting so long
For you and your song.
While you are playing, her heart will be swaying,
And she will surrender her kisses so tender,
To you she will cling
The moment that you sing:

All my love, I give you all my love,
The skies may fall, my love,
But I will still be true.

All my sighs will disappear at last,
Now that you're here at last,
My heart belongs to you.

Oh, don't you ever let me go,
You thrill me so.

I can see, as I recall my life,
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
