Evoking memories, my heart dreams again
And the memory is you, Marion
Youthful love, that I can never forget.
Love that fills with light, my whole life.
Shadows of the past, with its sadness of song
Will always say to me… Marion....

Marion,
I know, at your side, I was happy
When I gave my heart to you
in old Paris.
I remember,
The anguish of our goodbye
And heaven
crying for us both...
Marión,
Distant love that I left behind,
I want you to know, darling,
That I never forgot you.

Dream of Paris, steeped with the emotion
Of your unending love, Marion,
Today all that remains is the dawn of your fragrance
And the perfumed rumour of the distance between us.
Shadows of the past with grey toned memories
Will always say to me, “Marion”.
