Mademoiselle From Armentieres(original) |
| Un joli sourire de France |
| Des fossettes aux joues |
| Des cheveux tout fous |
| Des yeux bleus très doux |
| Sur son berceau dès sa naissance |
| Une bonne fée |
| D’un coup de baguette |
| Avait changé sa destinée |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Parlez-vous? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Parlez-vous? |
| Elle n’avait pas encore parlé |
| Qu’elle savait déjà chanter |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Puis vint l'âge d'être écolière |
| D’apprendre à compter |
| D’apprendre à parler |
| Ça ça l’ennuyait |
| Mais faire l'école buissonnière |
| Ça, ça l’amusait |
| Toujours gaie comme un pinson |
| Elle chantait sa chanson |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Parlez-vous? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Parlez-vous? |
| Mais un matin ce fut la guerre |
| Et tous les soldats |
| Qui passaient par-là |
| Se disaient tout bas |
| La voyant si belle et si fière |
| Ah ! |
| Qu’on serait bien |
| Blottis dans ses bras |
| Douillettement jusqu’au matin |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Parlez-vous? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Parlez-vous? |
| Quand on raconte cette histoire |
| Dans tous les pays |
| On ajoute aussi |
| Qu’elle eut un mari |
| Les gens qui ont bonne mémoire |
| Vont vous raconter |
| Qu’elle accepta d'épouser |
| Un colonel anglais |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Voulez-vous? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| Voulez-vous |
| Comme elle lui répondit: «oui» |
| Elle eut un très gentil mari |
| Mademoiselle from Armentières |
| (translation) |
| A pretty smile from France |
| Dimples in the cheeks |
| crazy hair |
| Very soft blue eyes |
| On his cradle from birth |
| A good fairy |
| With a wave of a wand |
| Had changed his destiny |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you speak? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you speak? |
| She hadn't spoken yet |
| That she already knew how to sing |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Then came the age of being a schoolgirl |
| To learn to count |
| To learn to speak |
| That bored him |
| But skipping school |
| That amused him |
| Always cheerful as a finch |
| She was singing her song |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you speak? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you speak? |
| But one morning it was war |
| And all the soldiers |
| Who passed by |
| whispered to each other |
| Seeing her so beautiful and so proud |
| Ah! |
| That we would be good |
| Cuddled up in his arms |
| Cozy till morning |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you speak? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you speak? |
| When we tell this story |
| In every country |
| We also add |
| That she had a husband |
| people with good memory |
| are going to tell you |
| whom she agreed to marry |
| An English Colonel |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you want to? |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
| Do you want to |
| As she answered him: "yes" |
| She had a very nice husband |
| Mademoiselle from Armentieres |
