Translation of the song J'aurais voulu danser artist Dalida

(J'aurais voulu,

(I would have liked,

j'aurais voulu,

I would have liked,

j'aurais voulu danser.)

I would have liked to dance.)

J'aurais voulu danser,

I would have liked to dance,

j'aurais voulu tourner,

I would have liked to spin,

jusqu'à la fin des jours.

Toute étourdie de joie,

All giddy with joy,

toute imprégnée de toi,

all enthralled with you,

au rythme de l'amour.

to the rhythm of love.

Toute la nuit,

All night long,

toute la vie peut-être,

or perhaps for all of life,

juste le temps de se connaître.

at least for the time to get to know one another.

Si j'avais su j'aurais

If I had known, I would have

compris comme un aveu

understood as a confession

tout ce que me disaient

everything that you said to me

tes yeux.

with your eyes.

~~~~~

Mais depuis alors

But ever since then

je danse encore en rêve

I still dance in my dreams

avec ton nom au bord des lèvres.

J'ai le regret de toi,

I miss you,

ton souvenir m'entoure,

your memory surrounds me,

car c'était toi,

because it was you,

oui toi,

yes you,

l'amour.

love.
