English lyric:

Verse:

Two hearts may be divided,
And what a shame it seems,
When all their little dreams entwine;
If fate has so decided,
To fate we must resign,
But still I know your heart-strings
Are tangled up with mine

Chorus:

Two lonely hearts divided, but someday,
Those hearts shall beat as one.
Two hungry hearts that need one another,
As flowers need the sun.
Two hearts that long for romance each night
Can't stay apart too long;
Two lonely hearts divided are singing
Love's old sweet song.

French lyric:

Verse:

Deux cœurs et quel dommage,
Ces cœurs soi' si navrés,
Et tous leurs rêves gais se perd';
Car notre sort s'engage
À nous décourager;
Pourtant je dis: "Sois sage!
Un jour ça va passer!"

Chorus:

Deux cœurs navrés mais beintôt j'espère
Ces cœurs seront unis;
Deux cœurs qui ont besoin l'un de l'autre,
Besoin si défini!
Deux cœurs se trist' qui pleur' tous les soirs
Ne pleur'ront pas toujours;
Deux cœurs navrés et pourtant qui chantent
Un chant d'amour!
