The Little Book of Love
Elixir d'Amour (A Love Potion)
Lyrics by Edith Piaf; music by Marguerite Monnot
Translated by Brigitte Franssen
For true love
C'est l'Amour
It is Love that causes us to love
It is Love that creates dreams
It is Love that wants us to love each other
It is Love that makes tears fall
But those who think they love each other
Those who pretend they love
Yes, all those who think they love each other
They can never weep
In Love, there must be tears
In Love, there must be giving
And those who have no tears
Can never love
There must be many and many tears
to have a right to Love
My Love, how I love you
So often, you make me weep
I gave you my tears
I wept to love you more
I paid with many tears
To have, forever, the right to Love
To have, forever, the right to Love…
