Femme à lunettes [English translation]

Spectacled woman she became

That fateful evening when with her naked eye

She tried to make out with charm

What there was on the box

Her eyes which squint

And me her companion

Who always takes care of her every need

I took her to the opticians

Chorus

Spectacled woman, naughty woman

Who likes tortoiseshell frames

Spectacled woman

Stay close by

For you I'll do the looking ahead

Spectacled woman, when at the cinema

She searches her pockets for a handkerchief

Behind her intellectual look there are

Two eyes which weep at the melodramas

I play it cool

I watch her sidelong

Myself, I understand her mood

When in the end the dog dies

Chorus

Spectacled woman, when she drives

I hold on to the safety rail

For Christmas, I'll send her a sleigh

And some reindeer who know how to parallel park

She can place a kiss

On the windscreen

She holds herself so close

To the the road leading ahead

Chorus
