Je n’en connais pas la fin (A Merry Go Round) [Live au Carnegie Hall 1957] Songtext
von Édith Piaf

I used to know a little square
Back in Paris, when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
Wonderful fair with swings and all

I used to love my little fair
And at the close of everyday
I could be found dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play

"Oh, mon amour
À toi, toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"

All summer long, my little fair
Made everyday a holiday
Night after night, it used to blare
People came there from far away


Everyone sang the little tune
All over town you heard it played
Even Peppi from Napoli
He sang to Marie this serenade

"Oh, mon amour
À toi, toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"

I can′t forget my little square
And even though I'm far away
I can′t forget my little fair
Maybe it's there, still there today

Sometimes I hear my little tune
Played in a dream of long ago
And in my brain runs the refrain
The old French refrain I used to know

"Oh, mon amour
À toi, toujours
Ah-ah-ah-ah, dans tes grands yeux
Oh-oh-oh-oh, rien que nous deux"
