Salut BB et Luvya!

Garde la dernière danse pour moi

Paroles et Musique: D.Pomue, Mort Shuman, A.Salvet,F.Llenas 1961

Va danser
Toutes les danses que tu veux
Dans les bras de ceux
Qui t'entraînent au loin
Va sourire
Des sourires merveilleux
Pour les danseurs
Qui te tiennent la main

Mais n'oublie pas que ce sera toi
Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi

Il y a
Quelquefois des refrains
Plus forts que le vin
Qui vous tournent la tête
Chante et rit
Mais je t'en supplie
Aucun danseur ne m'enlève ton cœur

Et n'oublie pas que ce sera toi
Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi

Comprends-moi chéri, je t'aime trop
Et je n'ai plus qu'un désir
C'est t'empêcher un jour de partir
Notre amour est trop beau

Va danser
Si tu peux t'amuser
J'attendrai le jour de ton retour
Si quelqu'un
Veut que tu l'accompagnes
Jusqu'à la maison
Dis-lui bien que non

Car n'oublie pas que ce sera toi
Qui conduiras ce soir chez moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi

La, la, la,la,la,..

Oui n'oublie pas que c'est dans tes bras
Que ce soir tu me serreras
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi
Garde bien la dernière danse pour moi

Well, I thought that since I have a bit of spare time now, I'd give it a try at translating it... hope you don't mind me doing so my dear Luvya...
--------------------

Go and dance
all the dances that you want to
in the arms of those ones
who take you far away
go and smile
wonderful smiles
for the dancers
who hold your hand

But don’t forget that it will be you
who will drive to my place tonight
save your last dance for me

There are
sometimes some tunes
which are stronger than wine
and which drive you mad
sing and laugh
but I’m begging you
don’t allow any dancer to rob me of your heart

And don’t forget that it will be you
who will drive to my place tonight
save your last dance for me

Understand me my darling, I love you too much
and I only have one wish...
to stop you from leaving one day
our love is too beautiful

Go and dance
if you can have some fun
I’ll be waiting for the day when you return
If somebody
wants you to go with him
to his place
tell him simply no

For don’t forget that it will be you
who will drive to my place tonight
save your last dance for me

La, la, la, la, la...

Yes, don’t forget that it’s in your arms
that you’ll hold me tight tonight
save your last dance for me
save your last dance for me
save your last dance for me

[Luvya]

Is that Irish? Welsh? Celtic?

What does it mean?

[BerBrennan]

It means: one thousand thank you's and it is a gaelic expression of gratitude(the Irish language is referred to as gaelic and is the first official language of Ireland though only spoken on an everyday basis by a small percentage of the population) BB

Ooooops! That's what I'd meant; "Gaelic", not "Celtic"

Thank you very much for the explanation!
