Britty Boy [English translation]

Oh Lily, Lily cries

Lily cries for me

It's because I'm not proud

It's true that I'm dangerous

But a britty, britty girl

A Brit from Soho

Who wears flowers in her hair

And gets around on her bike

At night, when she's bored1

At night, she runs away from Soho

Comes to see in Paris

Kisses me on the metro's mouth2

But what a pretty scene

In Paris, in Paris

I practice my English

And I patiently wait for the next date

The Seine is so beautiful

The quays are beautiful

She says, sometimes

And the both of us sitting on her saddle

We cuddle against the cold

Bet that I'd come back

I'd come back to London with you

She tells me, she tells me

Love you

Her throat full of vodka

To London, that I'd go

Oh, I make the bet

I practice my English

And I patiently wait for the next date

1. Or 'when she misses me', both are possible.2. Play on 'bouche' [mouth] and 'bouche de métro' [metro entrance].
