The Lyrics in French thne in English: Que reste-t-il de nos amours ? Ce soir, le vent qui frappe à ma porte me parle des amours mortes devant le feu qui s'éteint. Ce soir, c'est une chanson d'automne dans la maison qui frissonne et je pense aux jours lointains. Que reste-t-il de nos amours ? Que reste-t-il de ces beaux jours ? Une photo, vieille photo de ma jeunesse. Que reste-t-il des billets doux ? Des mois d'avril, des rendez-vous ? Un souvenir qui me poursuit, sans cesse. Bonheur fané, cheveux au vent, baisers volés, rêves mouvants. Que reste-t-il de tout cela ? Dites-le-moi. Un petit village, un vieux clocher, un paysage si bien caché, et dans un nuage le cher visage de mon passé. Les mots, les mots tendres qu'on murmure, les caresses les plus pures, les serments au fond des bois, les fleurs qu'on retrouve dans un livre, dont le parfum vous enivre, se sont envolés. Pourquoi ?
English: What remains of our loves? Versions: #1#2 Tonight, the wind knocking at my door speaks to me of past loves before the dying fire tonight, an autumn song quavers through the house and I think of those bygone days refrain: What remains of our loves? What of those fine days of yore? A photo, an old photo, of my youth. What remains of the love letters the months of April, the rendez-vous? A memory that pursues me without fail a shadow of happiness, windblown hair stolen kisses, moving dreams what remains of all these things do tell me? a little village, an old bell tower fields and meadows, well tucked away and in a cloud, the cherished face of my past days. The words, the tender words that are murmured the caresses purest of the pure the vows exchanged deep in the woods the flowers one finds among the pages of a book whose perfume quakes and stirs have all blown away, oh why?
Only an elderly French male could write such a song in their old age. It contrasts so well with Maurice Chevaliers, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"

Speaking of torches. I can't begin to describe the images and feelings this piece conjures in me. Well, I can but not here...
