"Clopin Clopant" lyrics

In France when one is walking sadly
They say he walks Clopin Clopant
His step is slow, he faulters badly
Perhaps the one he loves is gone

Clopin Clopant I hear his footsteps
As in the night he passes by
And as I hear his endless footsteps
I get to thinking there go I

I'll go along Clopin Clopant
Whispering she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

My childish heart cries like a baby
Without my love what will each day be?
So I go on Clopin Clopant
Trudging along Clopin Clopant

Love is a dance and one must learn it
I had my chance, why did I spurn it?
What can I do but carry on?
Going along Clopin Clopant

Love is a dance and one must learn it
I had my chance, why did I spurn it?
What can I do but carry on?
Going along Clopin Clopant

Going along Clopant
