Alons, viens encore, cherie.
J'attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la
vieille avenue.

Then I may end.
She had things to buy.
I close my eyes .
Yet I don't know why.
I gave her money; said she knew someone.
And she said she won't be long.

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of
mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours
is mine.

I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed .
Then saw your face in an old photograph.
I didn't think that I could live without you but
what am I to do ?

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of
mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours
is mine

Come home again dear. I have waited year after
year
under the lamp in our old avenue.
If all in the world that's laughing, why should
it make us cry?

Ah...
