The song of love
Adapted from the French song by Edith Piaf Le Chant d'amour, which is largely autobigraphical. It tells of her love for the boxer Cerdan who died in a plane crash. The singer's only hope is that the lovers meet again after death ,in a better place.
If you'll listen long and listen well
My song I'll tell of love endured
Love welcomed in the throes of everyday
Two loves who gave their hearts away
If you'll listen long and listen well
A beautiful story I will tell
Then let me do it well
If you let me long relate, my heart will break
With the song of love
For two who loved find peace only above
Oh two who loved in maddest place
They did perish with sorrow the same
I cannot give their grief a name
Then let me sing, or my heart will break
But to those who found their love
Love known not of the everyday
They shall find a better way
In which their heart endures forever and a day
That I am sure that as I sing
That the lovers are united in everything
Then let me sing for them today
la la la la la la ....
Let me sing or my heart will break
