| A trouvé une blonde et il l’a embrassée

| ses baisers le grisaient
| her kisses intoxicated him
|
| Mon Dieu ! | My God ! |
| mmh… ses baisers le grisaient
| mmh...her kisses were intoxicating him
|
| Il dit «Voulez-vous m'écouter, ma chérie?
| He said "Do you want to listen to me, my dear?
|
| Voici ma main, je serai le meilleur des maris»

|
| A plaidé sa cause avec son âme et sa vie

|
| Alors, elle a fini par lui dire oui

|
| Il voulait se marier et avoir douze enfants

|
| Mais je connais une dame qui persiste à l’aimer
| But I know a lady who still loves him

| his kisses intoxicated me
|
| Mon Dieu ! | My God ! |
| mmh… ses baisers me grisaient | mmh...his kisses got me drunk |
