Les filles du bord de mer [English translation]

I remember the sea shore

with its so pale-skinned girls

Their soul was hospitable

Can't say I didn't like that

Naive and cute as well

You could see in their pupils

That they wanted to exercise

To stay nicely slim

Again and again

They could have danced java

They were nice, the seashore girls

They were made for a guy with a knack

One of them was called Eve

She really was the girl of my dreams

She had only one flaw

She went to swin a tad bit too often

Rather than going to the massager

She beckoned to any swimmer

To fondle around her heart

Gently, gently

Gently and deeply

They were nice, the seashore girls

They were made for a guy with a knack

Forgiving her ways

I asked her to share my life

But as soon as summer came back

I started to worry

Because on the North Sea shores

She started again with her sport

I tolerated this hobby

Because she would have turned skinny without

Then one day I got fed up

This was more than I could handle

I handed her to a hustler

And I swam toward other waters

Gently, gently

They were nice, the seashore girls

They were made for a guy with a knack
