| Si je savais parler aux femmes
| If I knew how to talk to women
|
| Je lui parlerais très doux
| I would talk very sweet to him
|
| La bouche à peine ouverte
| Mouth barely open
|
| Ma main sur ses genoux
| My hand on her lap
|
| Si je savais parler aux femmes
| If I knew how to talk to women
|
| Je lui parlerais si bas
| I would talk to him so low
|
| Qu’elle devrait pour m’entendre
| That she should to hear me
|
| Se pencher un peu vers moi
| Lean a little towards me
|
| Se pencher un peu vers moi
| Lean a little towards me
|
| Et mon souffle très chaud lui chaufferait le cou
| And my very hot breath would warm his neck
|
| Et mon front trop mouillé lui tremperait la joue
| And my too-wet forehead would soak her cheek
|
| Et nos cheveux mêlés, nos mains moites et nues
| And our hair tangled, our palms sweaty and bare
|
| Et de bouche à bouche, enfin, dis-moi, m’aimes-tu?
| And mouth to mouth, finally, tell me, do you love me?
|
| Si je savais parler aux femmes
| If I knew how to talk to women
|
| Je lui parlerais tout près
| I'll talk to him close
|
| Comme un pendant d’oreille
| Like an ear pendant
|
| Pareil à un secret
| Like a secret
|
| Si je savais parler aux femmes
| If I knew how to talk to women
|
| Je ne dirais presque rien
| I would hardly say anything
|
| Parlerais comme à l'église
| Speak like in church
|
| Avec les yeux et les mains
| With eyes and hands
|
| Avec les yeux et les mains
| With eyes and hands
|
| Et mou souffle très chaud lui chaufferait le cou
| And my hot breath would warm his neck
|
| On mon bras replié lui courberait les reins
| Or my bent arm would bend her loins
|
| Les yeux en baldaquin, le coeur au grand galop
| Canopy eyes, racing heart
|
| Et de bouche à bouche, oui, je t’aime et beaucoup
| And word of mouth, yes, I love you and much
|
| Si je savais parler aux femmes
| If I knew how to talk to women
|
| Je saurais les garder aussi
| I could keep them too
|
| Et je sais bien que la mienne
| And I know well that mine
|
| Ne serait jamais partie
| Would never have left
|
| Ne serait jamais partie | Would never have left |
