lyrics

CHAGRIN DE BEAUTE

Un mélodrame en bord de Seine
Une fille délaissée dont la peine
S'écoule en longs chapelets de larmes
Ou quand l'amertume a du charme

Cette amoureuse qui dissimule
Son désarroi dans l' crépuscule
Jamais sans doute soleil couchant
Ne m'a semblé aussi touchant

ref.: Chagrin de beauté
Ce visage noyé de pleurs
Quel superbe tableau
Chagrin de beauté
J'ignorais que le malheur
Pouvait être aussi beau

Pauvre héroïne maltraitée
Je me surprends à souhaiter
Que le désespoir qui te ronge
Encore un instant se prolonge

Pardonne à un triste insensé
Le sombre tour de ses pensées
Et sois sans crainte, je te laisse
A la pureté de ta détresse

ref.: Chagrin de beauté
Ce visage noyé de pleurs
Quel superbe tableau
Chagrin de beauté
J'ignorais que le malheur
Pouvait être aussi beau

ref.: Chagrin de beauté
Ce visage noyé de pleurs
Quel superbe tableau
Chagrin de beauté
J'ignorais que le malheur
Pouvait être aussi beau

Duvall penned the 1980 electro pop millions seller "Banana Split" for Lio, also providing various nasty material for J.Birkin, Sparks, The Runaways, Chrissie Hynde, Laetitia Sadier. ... more
