Champs-Élysées , officially Avenue des Champs-Élysées (French: “Avenue of the Elysian Fields”) , broad avenue in Paris , one of the world’s most famous, which stretches 1.17 miles (1.88 km) from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde . It is divided into two parts by the Rond-Point (“roundabout”) des Champs-Élysées. The lower part, toward the Place de la Concorde (and beyond, the Tuileries Gardens), is surrounded by gardens, museums, theatres, and a few restaurants. The upper part, toward the Arc de Triomphe, was traditionally the site of luxury shops and hotels, restaurants and pavement cafés, theatres, banks, and offices. Progressively, however, its character has changed, although its tourist appeal remains strong. Airline offices, fast-food restaurants, car showrooms, and cinemas, as well as American-style shopping arcades, have become increasingly dominant.
When first designed in the 17th century, the Champs-Élysées consisted of fields, an open area then on the outskirts of Paris, containing the Cours de la Reine (“Queen’s Drive”), an approach road running along the Seine River to the Tuileries Palace . Later in the same century, André Le Nôtre landscaped the broad, shady avenue and extended it to the crest of the hill on which the Arc de Triomphe now stands. In the 18th century the whole came to be called the Champs-Élysées. The Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated in 1836, and by the 1860s, when Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann was grandly redrawing the boulevards of Paris, the Champs-Élysées had become a prestigious thoroughfare of palaces, hotels, and restaurants.

“ Les Champs Élysées ” (pronounced le ʃɒ̃z eɪli zeɪ) is the greatest hit of French-American singer Joe Dassin (1938-1980). Released in 1969, the song and was a French adaption of Waterloo Road , a British song released the previous year by Jason Crest . The French version’s lyrics were written by Pierre Delanoë . Keep reading to discover the French lyrics with English translation, line-by-line lyrics analysis and listen on YouTube and Spotify.
Les Champs Élysées song lyrics recount the story of a man approaching a woman on the street. She invites him to spend the night singing and dancing in a bar. The two emerge the following day on to the street as lovers.
The Champs-Élysées is a major avenue in Paris running between Place de la Condorde and L’Arc de Triomphe . The avenue is known for its shopping, cafés and restaurants. The Champs-Élysées is also the site of the Bastille Day military parade and finish line of the Tour de France .
Note that the song title is “ Les Champs Élysées ” and not “ Aux Champs Élysées “. People often confuse the title as the words “Aux Champs Élysées” (on the Champs-Élysées) are used in the song’s chorus.
The words “Champs Elysées” are difficult to pronounce due to the nasal -am (covered on this pronunciation page ). In addition, there is a liason (linking of two words) between the -s on champs and -e of elysées.
This page on Forvo offers several pronunciation samples of Champs Elysées by native speakers.
The song lyrics are very easy to understand and don’t use any advanced grammar . In fact, they’d be excellent for students learning French at the upper-beginner or intermediate level.
Les is the plural form of “the”, which is the definite article in French. The -e with the upward slanting accent (-é) is pronounced “ay”. This accent is called l’accent aigu . This page covers French accent marks in detail.
This translates to “I was walking”. The verb is se balader, which means to take a walk or stroll. This is a reflexive verb . This line is written in the imperfect tense , which is the simple past (was _ing) in English.
This line translates to “I wanted to say hello to anybody”. J’avais envie is the imperfect of j’ai envie , which means I want to or I fancy. N’importe qui means anybody. The word n’importe can be followed by question words to mean “any”. This page explains expression with n’importe .
This line translates literally to “I told you anything”. But, what it really means is “I said whatever to you”. This line is in the passé composé (French past tense) and the t’ is an object pronoun meaning “to you”.
This line translates literally to: “ It was enough to speak to you to tame you “. Another site translates apprivoiser (translation: to tame) as get to know or become acquainted.
This verb is often used in the context of domesticating animals. We translated the line to “All I had to do was speak to you to win you over”.
This line translates to “ In the sun, under the rain, at noon or at midnight “. This page goes over weather terms and this page goes over telling time .
We translated this line to: “ You can find whatever you want on the Champs-Elysées “. The literal translation is: “There is what you want on the Champs-Elysées.
The expression il y a means there is or there are. Ce que is an indefinite relative pronoun , meaning what. “Vous voulez” is the vous form of vouloir , which means to want.
We translated this line as: “ You told me: “I have a meeting in a basement (bar) with some crazy people “. Tu m’as dit is the passe compose of the verb dire, which means to say.
The m’ means “ to me “. The word rendez-vous can mean appointment or meeting.
The word sous-sol means basement. We translated it to mean bar as there are many bars on the Champs-Elys é e. We translated “des fous” as some crazy people because “ fou ” means crazy.

We translated this line to “ So I went along with you, we sang, we danced “. Alors translates to both so and then. Accompagner mean to go with or accompany.
“On a chanté, on a dansé” translates to “we” sang and danced. On is a French personal pronoun that can be used to refer to us or “nous”. This page covers the personal pronoun on in detail.
This line translates to “ And we didn’t even think of kissing each other “. The ne…pas is the most basic French negation rule .
The word même translates to both same and even. Hence, même pas means “not even”. The verb penser translates to “to think”. Translation of s’embrasser are to embrace and to kiss.
This line translates to “ Two lovers completely dazed by the long night “. Amoureux translates to lover or sweetheart. The word tout means all. However, in this context we’ve translated it as “completely”.
The French adjective étourdi has several translations. The most fitting meanings for the context of the song lyrics include dazed and giddy. Other translations include absent-minded and stunned.
This line translates to “ The star at the Place de la Concorde, an orchestra playing a thousand strings “. L’Étoile à la Concorde refers to Place de la Concorde, where the Champs Elysées is located.
The line “un orchestre à mille cordes” (an orchestra playing a thousand strings) is meant to be a metaphor for the singing of the morning birds at dawn.
This line translates to “ All the birds at dawn singing love “. Un oiseau means a bird. Tous les means “all the”. Le point du jour translates to dawn or daybreak. “Chatent” is the third-person plural (ils, elles) form of the verb chanter , which means to sing.
Je m’baladais sur l’avenue le cœur ouvert à l’inconnu J’avais envie de dire bonjour à n’importe qui N’importe qui et ce fut toi, je t’ai dit n’importe quoi Il suffisait de te parler, pour t’apprivoiser
I was walking on the avenue with my heart open to the stranger I wanted to say hello to anybody, I said whatever to you All I had to do was speak to you to win you over
