Avec Élégance Lyrics

yeah good translation... Except on second verse: it would be "Reading in the eyes of the charming that fifty years old is the province" (the opposite of what you wrote). Province in french means the opposite of Paris. Paris in French means fashionable and hype. So he feels in the eyes of the charming that he's no longer fashionable, no longer attractive. Great way to express this feeling. This song is so deeply sad but it has this grandeur... with grace !
