Nobody wants me to go to France
Language: Multiple Languages 
Nobody wants me to go to France 
And maybe I should not go, 
Though I do not really know... 
It would seem a romance...
I've got my home and all I need 
And you, my heart; 
My friends make sweet the life I lead... 
Would I quit? Should I part? 
My dreams are so strange... 
Oh, you my love! Could I change?... 
Oh no! 
Mais, chose étrange, quand je lis 
Des vers anciens de ce pays, 
Je me sens la Princesse, 
Et, peut-être en détresse, 
Le Prince Aquitain 
m'appelle de loin, 
Et mon cœur délicat est ravi !
