As a precaution, we put
Matties in our windows
Turn our storefronts blue
And even the tires of our cars
Remove canvas from all our museums
Turn up the Champs Elysées
Swaddle in clay
All the beauties of our statues
Clear the street lamps in the evening
Dive into the black the city of light
Paris will always be Paris!
The most beautiful city in the world
Despite the deep darkness
Its radiance cannot be darkened
Paris will always be Paris!
The more we dim our lighting
The more we see his courage shine
His good humor and his spirit
Paris will always be Paris!
br/>So that everyone can practice this noise
We can play the siren at night
Force us to do the zouave
In our pajamas in our cellar
br/>We'll be fine with ukases
Cut us out and even jazz
Force us to wear a gas mask
Four-square crosswords
Force us in our homes
Let us all go to bed at eleven o'clock
Paris will always be Paris!
The most beautiful city in the world
Despite the deep darkness
Its ©brilliance cannot be dimmed
Paris will always be Paris!
The more we reduce its lighting
The more we see its courage shine
His good humor and his spirit
Paris will always be Paris!
Although, since October
The dresses are much more sober
May there be fewer flowers and less egrets
May the colors be more discreet
Although at galas we eliminate
Chinchillas and ermines
May the jewels full of decency
Shine especially by their absence
Let beauty be less showy
Less brazen less frilly
Paris will always be Paris!
The most beautiful city in the world
Even when in the distance the cannon roars
Her outfit is even prettier...
Paris will always be Paris!
We can limit our spending,
Her distinction, her elegance
Then they are only more valuable
Paris will always be Paris!
