About Esperanza

"Esperanza" is a 1961 hit song by Charles Aznavour with French lyrics written by Aznavour after the original instrumental composition by Ramón Cabrera Argotes. The Aznavour version commences "Esperanza, esperanza, le bonheur en nos coeurs...". The Spanish original also achieved popularity in its own right particularly the Spanish-language version by Nino de Murcia, but the French version of Aznavour was successful even in Spanish speaking countries.

Esperanza, Esperanza
Le bonheur en nos cœurs suit son cours
Esperanza, Esperanza
Et l'espoir est en nous mon amour

L'amour est né de tous petits riens
De gestes anodins
Prenant forme malgré nous
Et dans nos cœurs il a fait son nid
S'est épanoui dans nos rêves un peu fous
Et pourtant au lieu de louer la providence
Et cette chance bien à l'avance
Tu veux savoir si plus tard je serai le même
Mais puisque je t'aime et que tu m'aimes
Oublie tout pour aimer, vis le moment qui vient
Et n'ait pas peur de tes lendemains
Qu'adviendra-t-il de nous
Qu'importe c'est la vie
Je ne connais en tout que ce cri

Cesse chérie de te tourmenter
De te torturer, tu t'inquiètes à quoi bon
Car ces pensées qui te font du mal
Me semblent anormales
Tu te ronges sans raisons
Crois-moi, oublie pour toujours ce qui te tracasse
Et tes angoisses car le temps passe
Et ce qui est perdu jamais ne revient rire
Mais sans rien dire il se retire
Tu vois, moi, je prend jour aux lueurs de ton cœur
Pourtant de notre amour le meilleur
Ne sachant si demain peux donner du nouveau
J'ai confié mon destin à ce mot
