about

Originally recorded by Edith Piaf (1961)

lyrics

The dance band music,
With loud beats of the cymbal
And accordion,
Shakes up my song.
The dance band music
Entertains
Downstairs from me
Every evening of the month

Try as I may to lock it out,
Triple lock even,
The music gets mixed up
With my love stories.
The dance band music,
Along dirty walls
Rises in surges
Up to the attic.

The dance band music,
With loud beats of the cymbal
And accordion,
Shakes up my song.
Even when I’m grieving
It’s the same refrain.
Even if you’re nearly dead
It’s played just as loud.

I nearly died
The day that you left.
But to soften the music,
My heart wasn’t enough.
The dance band music,
It doesn’t care.
You might be crying,
But the music’s for dancing …

The music, it’s selling joy
Everyone for himself
It’s better for them,
Too bad for me …
