[Chorus]
Virginie...roman d'amour
Virginie jolie
Dans cette ile ou tu as vu le jour
Paul a vu le jour
Lui aussi
De rencontres en rendez-vous
Vous avez grandi
Dans le grand jardin aux arbres fous
Ou chante l'oiseau
De paradis

[Virginie...love story
Cute Virginie
In this island where you were born
Paul was born
As well
From meetings to rendez-vous
You have both grow
In the garden with crazy trees
Where sings the bird
From paradise]

[Verse 1]
Oh
Je voudrais qu'un jour un garcon me regarde
Comme en ce temps-la ce garcon-la te regardait
Etre aimee comme il t'aimait a chaque page
De ce livre oublie

[Oh
I would like that some day a guy looks at me
Like in those times that boy was looking at you
Be loved like he loved you at every page
From that forgotten book]

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Je n'ai lu que le debut de votre histoire
On me dit que ce beau livre finit tristement
Mais vos noms ne laisseront dans ma memoire
Qu'un sourire eclatant

[I only read the beginning of your story
They tell me that this beautiful book ends up sadly
But your names will only leave in my memory
A shining snile]

[Chorus]
Virginie...roman d'amour
Virginie jolie
Dans cette ile ou tu vivras toujours
Paul vivra toujours
Lui aussi

[Virginie...love story
Cute Virginie
In this island where you'll live forever
Paul will live forever
As well]

[Outro]
...Virginie
