Comme s'il en pleuvait [English translation]

Sweet nothings and usual notes,

Passionate love stories

(In abundance)

Suitors and young fellows

came to my door

(In abundance)

Clouds of diamonds

Poems left upon my pillow

(In abundance)

Presents and gifts everyday

(In abundance)

And love...

(In abundance)

As you see me, my pretty one

With hands outstretched, and muddy knees

Take no heed of my appearance

And when the time comes, let’s be frank

I used to be the queen around here

And the eyes of these gentlemen

Would gaze upon my pleasing person

Are you surprised?

La la la la...

Hollyhocks and pretty hearts

On special nights

(In abundance)

Clouds of diamonds

Poems left upon my pillow

(In abundance)

Suitors and finery

Enough to die for, if only you knew

(In abundance)

Gifts and presents everyday

(In abundance)

And love...

(In abundance)

Desire, drunkenness, the entire moon,

All of that was given to me, darling

But by a stroke of bad fortune

I have lost it all

And in the memory of Man or Apostle

Who on earth could tell me now

That like no other before

I have fascinated the whole world?

La la la la

Sweet nothings and the usual notes,

Passionate love stories

(In abundance)

Suitors and young fellows

came to my door

(In abundance)

Suitors and finery

Enough to die for, if only you knew

(In abundance)

Gifts and presents everyday

More than can be counted on ten fingers

(In abundance)

Good fortune and youth never last

I have learnt that to my cost

So give a chance to the present, my pretty

Take it to the skies and be good to me,

My young thing, my darlin’…

La la la (In abundance)
