"Chanson d'amour"
The Lyrics: Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, play encore.
Here in my heart, ra da da da da, more and more. Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, je t'adore. Each time I hear, ra da da da da, Chanson, chanson, d'amour. Why: "Chanson d'amour" is French for "love song" (literally "song of love"), and "je t'adore" is French for "I love thee".
