As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW, 3rd February 1934:
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing
I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling
Love is calling, why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love

EST-CE PAR HASARD
Titre original: "Let's Fall In Love"
(T. Koehler / H. Arlen / French Lyrics: P. Loiseau)
Dave (The Netherlands / France) - 1977
Est-ce par hasard si j'ai suivi une étoile
Qui m'a conduit cette nuit jusqu'ici
Où tu te trouves aussi
Est-ce par hasard si j'ai croisé ton regard
Pourrais-tu m'expliquer pourquoi ce soir
Va se jouer ma vie
Qui a guidé nos pas dans l'ombre ?
Mais qui a tout fait pour que l'on se rencontre
Est-ce par hasard si cette nuit une étoile
Brille au-dessus de nous comme un espoir
Est-ce par hasard ?
Est-ce par hasard s'il a le cœur qui s'égare
Si ce n'est pas le hasard c'est la chance
Laissons-la nous sourire
Est-ce par hasard si les violons jouent ce soir
Cet air ancien qui revient de si loin
Du fond de ma mémoire
Qui nous a mené l'un vers l'autre
Surpris on se découvre faits l'un pour l'autre
Est-ce par hasard si cette nuit une étoile
Brille au-dessus de nous comme un espoir
Est-ce par hasard
