There is a lull after the fish course, and the band is on break.
Anaïs picks up her drink, and sets it on the the piano; she begins to
play in the style of a chantuse, and with a voice much deeper than
belies her small size, sings:

"Someday he'll come along
The boy-cat I love
And he'll be big and strong
The boy-cat I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my paw
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word"

She takes a sip of her drink "An dat was wif apologies to George
Gershwin". She begins to play again [Translation at bottom]:

"Des yeux qui font baisser les miens,
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche,
Voilà le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens...

Quand il me prend dans ses bras,
Qu'il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose;
Il me dit des mots d'amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,
Et ça m' fait quelque chose.
Il est entré dans mon coeur,
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause,
C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie;
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie;
Et dès que je l'aperçois,
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat."

Anaïs takes a small bow and returns to the table. M. Lenoir turns to
her and says: "I rembfur you! You were zee Sorbonne student who sang

[translation of La Vie en Rose]
"Eyes which cause mine to lower,
A laugh which is lost on ones mouth,
Here is the portrait without a retouch
Of the man who is mine...

When he takes to me in his arms,
He speaks to me low,
I see a rosy life;
He speaks words of love,
Forever words,
And that does something to me.
They enter my heart,
A piece of happiness
I know the cause,
It is him for me, me for him for life;
He said it to me, swore for his life;
And as soon as I feel it,
Then I feel in me
My beating heart."
