Les Champs-Élysées (version anglaise) Songtext
von Joe Dassin

I was walking down the street today
I saw a girl along the way
I asked her where she′s going
And she said come with me

She took me down this avenue
Where we met some friends she knew
And then we stopped and talked a while
And passed the time away

Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night, a rainy day
You'll find what you′re looking for
On the Champs-Élysées

Sitting in a small café
We heard a street musician play
Some waltzes on his accordion
All night long


His playing sound was wheezy
But the melody was so easy
That we all got up and joined him
And we sang this song

Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night, a rainy day
You'll find what you're looking for
On the Champs-Élysées

Now the birds are cheeping
And we all feel kind of sleepy
The morning sun has risen
And the moon has gone

But still the feeling lingers
And still I hear the singers
As I walk along the avenue
And I sing this song


Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night, a rainy day
You′ll find what you′re looking for
On the Champs-Élysées

Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night, a rainy day
You'll find what you′re looking for
