Gilbert Becaud - L'important c'est la rose, en anglais (1967).
Ask the man who’s been around Through a hundred towns and by-ways On a thousand hills and highways for he knows If the Eiffel Tower falls And the Bank of England closes He’s still left with the importance of the rose.
L’important c’est la rose...
In the eye of time we’re just Heaps of dust along the highway And as far along the highway as it goes We must go with what we’ve got What we give and what we’re given For a lesson in true livin’, watch the rose.
