Lyrics of Emilie - Debout sur le zinc

Emilie (original)

Sur la t?
te d’Emilie tombaient fins et droits des fils de soie.
Comme?
la sir?
ne ils cachaient sa poitrine.
Dire qu’elle ?tait ma promise.
Elle m’aimait et pourtant je devine
Que ce n’est pas partie remise.
Car l’amour est un enfant?
go?ste et malhonn?
te Qui ne pense qu'?
lui, qu'?
sa pomme sans se soucier du reste.
Moi je ne suis pas mauvais gar?
on loin de l?,
Et pourtant je subis sa loi.
Moi je ne suis pas mauvais gar?
on loin de l?,
Et pourtant je subis sa loi.
Sous le nez d’emilie se dessinaient gracieuses
Deux fraises pulpeuses,
Comme?
Venus elles?
taient d?
lectables.
Dire qu’elle ?tait ma promise.
Elle m’aimait et c’est bien regrettable
Que ce ne soit pas partie remise.
Car l’amour est un enfant irresponsable et malhonn?
te Qui ne pense qu'?
lui, qu'?
sa pomme sans se soucier du reste.
Moi je ne suis pas mauvais gar?
on loin de l?,
Et pourtant je subis sa loi.
Moi je ne suis pas mauvais gar?
on loin de l?,
Et pourtant je subis sa loi.
Sous le front d’Emilie se logeait admirables
Deux perles d’opale,
Comme aux malignes elles brillaient de tendresse.
Dire qu’elle ?tait ma promise.
Elle m’aimait mais je m’en confesse
Que ce n’est pas partie remise.
Car l’amour est un enfant capricieux et malhonn?
te Qui ne pense qu'?
lui, qu'?
sa pomme sans se soucier du reste.
Moi je ne suis pas mauvais gar?
on loin de l?,
Et pourtant je subis sa loi.
Moi je ne suis pas mauvais gar?
on loin de l?,
Et pourtant je subis sa loi.

(translation)

On the tee
d'Emilie fell fine and straight from the threads of silk.
As?
the sir?
did they hide his chest.
To say she was my promise.
She loved me and yet I guess
That it's not a postponement.
For love is a child?
tasteful and dishonest
you Who does not think that?
him, what?
his apple without worrying about the rest.
Me, I'm not a bad guy?
we away from it,
And yet I obey his law.
Me, I'm not a bad guy?
we away from it,
And yet I obey his law.
Beneath Emilie's nose loomed graceful
Two luscious strawberries,
As?
Did they come?
were from
readable.
To say she was my promise.
She loved me and it's very unfortunate
Let it not be postponed.
For love is an irresponsible and dishonest child?
you Who does not think that?
him, what?
his apple without worrying about the rest.
Me, I'm not a bad guy?
we away from it,
And yet I obey his law.
Me, I'm not a bad guy?
we away from it,
And yet I obey his law.
Beneath Emilie's brow lay admirable
Two opal beads,
As at the malignant ones they shone with tenderness.
To say she was my promise.
She loved me but I confess
That it's not a postponement.
For love is a capricious and dishonest child?
you Who does not think that?
him, what?
his apple without worrying about the rest.
Me, I'm not a bad guy?
we away from it,
And yet I obey his law.
Me, I'm not a bad guy?
we away from it,
And yet I obey his law.
