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...
