| Il la rencontre, elle sourit, c’est épatant
| He meets her, she smiles, it's amazing
|
| Il lui adresse la parole poliment
| He addresses her politely
|
| Il lui propose un petit tour bien gentiment
| He offers her a nice little ride
|
| Elle s’envole en disant «Pas encore»
| She flies away saying "Not yet"
|
| Il lui achète une bricole, un petit rien
| He buys her a trifle, a little nothing
|
| Puis il l’invite à déjeuner, ça va très bien
| Then he invites her to lunch, it's going very well
|
| Mais aussitôt qu’il veut aller un peu plus loin
| But as soon as he wants to go a little further
|
| Elle s’envole en disant «Oh, pas encore !»
| She flies away saying "Oh, not yet!"
|
| Ils ont dansé toute la nuit
| They danced all night
|
| L’orchestre leur tournait la tête
| The orchestra turned their heads
|
| Elle était là tout contre lui
| She was right there against him
|
| Il commençait à se sentir assez bête
| He was starting to feel pretty dumb
|
| Il l’a raccompagnée chez elle ce soir-là
| He walked her home that night
|
| Devant la porte, il l’a serrée entre ses bras
| Outside the door, he hugged her
|
| Elle était folle, elle lui a dit «Monte chez moi»
| She was crazy, she told him "Come up to my house"
|
| Il est parti en disant «Oh, pas encore !»
| He left saying "Oh, not yet!"
|
| Le lendemain, ils se retrouvent comme avant
| The next day they meet again as before
|
| Un peu gênés, un peu troublés, pas trop contents
| A little embarrassed, a little troubled, not too happy
|
| Elle commence à s’excuser en hésitant
| She begins to apologize hesitantly
|
| Mais il l’arrête et lui dit «Pas encore»
| But he stops her and says "Not yet"
|
| Et il a tiré de sa poche un petit paquet
| And he took a small packet out of his pocket
|
| Elle l’a ouvert, assez émue, et c'était vrai
| She opened it, quite moved, and it was true
|
| Un anneau d’or qu’il voulait déjà lui passer
| A golden ring that he already wanted to pass her
|
| Mais elle a dit «Mon chéri, pas encore»
| But she said "Honey, not yet"
|
| Devant le maire, ils sont allés
| In front of the mayor they went
|
| Elle avait mis ses yeux pervenche
| She had put her periwinkle eyes
|
| Il portait son plus beau complet
| He wore his best suit
|
| Celui qu’il a quand il fait beau le dimanche
| The one he has when the weather is nice on Sunday
|
| Sur l’avenue, y avait un soleil de printemps
| On the avenue there was a spring sun
|
| Ils sont entrés main dans la main, le cœur battant
| They walked in hand in hand with beating hearts
|
| Ils ont fermé la porte de l’appartement
| They closed the apartment door
|
| Et dans ses bras, elle a dit «Maintenant» | And in his arms she said "Now" |
