Madeleine [English translation]

I went to her place

And simply asked her right away:

"So when are we going to get married?"

She held her breath

Because a man I didn't know

Was standing in her bedroom door

That's how it was revealed:

I was just the second fiancé in her house

Madeleine, I don't like this circus

I don't like standing in the limelight

And acting the fool for others

Madeleine, you always need your audience

While I'm just kicking my heels

And I have to cope with your caprices

You do to me whatever you want

You ridicule me

But I've always forgiven you

That's my problem

Madeleine, this circus will go on

For as long as we two meet

I will always be your fool

Despite many worries

And troubles with you

We still set a wedding date

With our friends

And men of honour

We went to the registry office

There, at the front gate

The other man was standing and this time, he was singing:

"Madeleine, I don't like this circus"

"I don't like standing in the limelight"

"And acting the fool for others"

"Madeleine, you always need your audience"

"While I'm just kicking my heels"

"And I have to cope with your caprices"

Madeleine, la la la...

Madeleine, la la la...
