MADELEINE PEYROUX careless love ( ROUNDER )
I have Two Loves
One says that beyond the seas
Over there under the sky clearly
There is a city
With the stay enchanted
And under the large trees blacks
Each evening
Towards it from all my hope
goes away I have two loves
My country and Paris
By them always
My heart is charmed
Manhattan is beautiful
But what good is the to deny
What me bewitch
It is Paris, Paris entire
To see a day
It is my dream pretty
I have two Loves
My country and Paris
Manhattan is beautiful
But what good is the to deny
What me bewitch
It is Paris, Paris entire
To see a day
It is my dream pretty
I have two Loves
My country and Paris
