Translation of the song lyrics Moules Frites - Stromae

Moules Frites (original)

Sais-tu ce qu’il m’a dit Paulo
Ou que son petit doigt lui dit, plutôt
Quand ce dernier se lève, c’est qu’une coquille de rêve, est sortie de l’eau
Et là il chante:
Paulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo
Paulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Mais avant qu’il passe à table, il boit toujours un verre de blanc
Pour oublier l’exécrable, sur et si âcre goût de l’océan
Et il est tellement agile, Paulo, qu’il ne doit même pas supplier
Et c’est à chaque fois si facile, mais cette fois-ci elle est un peu moins
fragile que ce que Paulo imagine
Mais du moment qu’elle criait:
Paulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo
Paulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Mais il aurait du s’en méfier, Paulo
Car on ne sait où elle s’est baignée, plus tôt
Comme elle était contaminée, Paulo ne chantera plus
Ou peut-être, une fois enterré, Paulo
On chantera tous:
Paulo aimait les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo'
À toi Paulooo
Paulo aimait les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo'
On chantera tous pour toi
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo

(translation)

Do you know what he told me Paulo
Or what his little finger tells him, rather
When the latter rises, it's a dream shell, came out of the water
And there he sings:
Paulo likes mussels with fries, without fries and without mayo
Paulo likes mussels with fries, without fries and without mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
But before he sits down to eat, he always drinks a glass of white
To forget the execrable, on and so acrid taste of the ocean
And he's so nimble, Paulo, he doesn't even have to beg
And it's always so easy, but this time it's a little less
fragile than Paulo imagines
But as she cried:
Paulo likes mussels with fries, without fries and without mayo
Paulo likes mussels with fries, without fries and without mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
But he should have been wary, Paulo
'Cause we don't know where she bathed earlier
As she was contaminated, Paulo won't sing anymore
Or maybe, once buried, Paulo
We'll all sing:
Paulo liked mussels with fries, without fries and without mayo'
Over to you Paulooo
Paulo liked mussels with fries, without fries and without mayo'
We'll all sing for you
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
