Lyrics

Valentin

Cette valentine que je t'envoie
comme mon amour, n'arrête pas;
Et tout le long, il y a des noeuds
que je m'embrouille plus d'un peu.

Toutes mes pensées, mes rêves la nuit
sont concentrés sur mon délice.

Celui que j'aime ce jour heureux
où tout est fait pour amoureux.
Tout simplement c'est mon dessein
de faire de toi mon Valentin.

Toutes mes pensées, mes rêves la nuit,
Sont concentrés sur toi, délice.

Car vu que c'est la Valentine
et c'est vers toi que je m'incline,
Résiste pas donc au destin,
que je te fasse mon Valentin!

Toutes mes pensées, mes rêves la nuit,
Sont concentrés sur toi, délice.
le jour, la nuit,
Valentin, Bonne nuit...

Valentine

This valentine which I do send
is like my love, without an end:
It twists and turns, the length you see;
so hath your love entangled me.

My thoughts by day and dreams by night
are all of you, my heart's delight.

Whom I adore, this happy day,
when Nature's full of love and play.
Yet harmless still is my design:
'tis but to be your Valentine.

My thoughts by day and dreams by night
are all of you, my heart's delight.

(Musical Break: One full Chorus and Verse)

Then as St. Valentine's is here
and you I've chosen mine, my dear,
the sweets of love do not decline,
but be my charming Valentine!

My thoughts by day and dreams by night
are all of you, my heart's delight,
both day and night;
Valentine, good night....
