Camelote [English translation]

She sold useless things in my road

Plastic spheres that you turn over endlessly

To see an Eiffel Tower under a stupid snow

She married the ugly to the frankly useless

But she was proud of these useless things

She loved the smiles in front of her shop

That a neon sign named "Charlotte's Place"

It was her name but I called it Junk

When I had nothing to do, I gave her a hand

I held the ladder for her to take down a garden gnome

Because of caring for her clay statues

We wanted to marry there and then

A notice on the door "Closed for Wedding"

We chose the gnome who seemed wisest

To play the role of mayor and as witnesses

Two flowers who dance the jerk when you clap your hands

A certified diploma for "Best Mother"

Will serve as register when the moment comes

We will be signatories with a quill pen

Which lights up and play "Au clair de la lune"

I said to her "Madame, will you take my hand?"

She said to me "What for?" I replied "For nothing!"

Turning the cog of a present box

We had two skeletons set in a ring

Then we had counted the children that we will have

She wanted seven of them, you know the names

Then we will have made seven bunk beds

Me I'll hold the ladder when we need to put them to bed

The honeymoon took place in December

We took the metro station Quatre-September

To see the Eiffel Tower under the morning snow

And Paris which awakes in it's crystal ball
