When Debussy died on March the 25, 1918 in Paris, it was being bombarded by the Germans, and it was raining
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It was raining
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
And it was raining
And it’s weeping in my heart
Like it’s raining in the town
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It rains
[?]
Weeping in my heart
Like it’s raining
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It rains
[?]
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
