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 |
