La Fille de paille [English translation]

Ah ! For you it must be exhausting

To be in love with a straw girl (1)

Cause I fly away at the first gust of wind

When you believe me in your arms

I'm all over the roof

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

You do not necessarily see blueberries

Deep inside the eyes of a straw girl

You should have doubted yourself in this affair

But instead of my heart

You hit a big mocking jack

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

You want to make so much of your freedom

Your feelings are but made of straw

When you told me we could get married

I was quickly all up in flames

But nothing remained of it

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah ! For you it must be exhausting

To be in love with a straw girl

Cause I fly away at the first gust of wind

You believed me in your arms

I was all over the roof

But instead of my heart

You hit a big mocking jack

Yes I was quickly all up in flames

But nothing remained of it
