I would return

I  would return  to Versailles 

at the dawn of a calm morning

in the softness of a summer ,

offering itself to the seasons of love...

I\'ll  find  the fragrant rose  gardens 

well protected  from the bad times...

I would return  to Versailles 

at the freshness of  high waters...

The court dancing in the majestic 

gallery  of equivocals ...

All being harmony in this sleepy  kingdom .

Our  pretty queen playing  shepherdess 

in her doll\'s village,will  welcome me  : 

  \'\' Mes respects votre majesté ! \'\'

My fair sovereign  ,I  have just returned 

from this trip  into the  future 

where everything is chaos and madness ! 

You\'ve never  heard of this musical demesure

called  Broadway  ! 

In this empire I\'ve seen towers  collapse ,

junk fortunes and fame at the stake ...

 I would return to  Versailles,

in this summer before the \' 90 s...

My palace where the cannons  fall silent ..

I\'ll  find  again the fickle  heart 

of carefree  sycophants 

 turning in a shadow  theater ..

  I would return ,

but would I really find peace ?
