Cul et chemise [English translation]

I'd like you

To tell me

That they're measure up

To me

That for a male

You never let yourself get carried away

That you glue

You despise

All these

Tacky things

These wicked's dances

You kick it away

The "okey-doke"

The Romeos

I break

With pleasure

Some sugar

On their back 1

But I'd like you

To tell me

That in vain

They drag on

And that in front of

Those villains

You yawn

To all and sundry

You break them :

"Don't call me

Sweet heart"

That in two times

Three scandals

You go away

The womanizers

Galore

I break them

With pleasure

Two or three sugars

On their back

But I'd like you

To bet

On my promised loyalty

And that your heart

Never peels

The cool crooners

With tremolos

I break them

With pleasure

Two or three sugars

On their backs

Tell me my angel

Who is courting

His old man

Some surprises

Of our nights

On the pal (?)

Under the stars

I'd like you

To tell me

We are

Hand in glove 2

That for a male

You never let yourself get carried away
