Salade de fruits [English translation]

Your mother gave you for a first name

Fruit Salad, oh! what a pretty name

In the name of your Hawaiian ancestors

It must be admitted that you wear it well

[Refrain]

Fruit Salad, pretty, pretty, pretty

You delight my father, you delight my mother

Fruit Salad, pretty, pretty, pretty

One of these days

We’ll have to get married

Hanging in my hut by the waterside

There are pineapples, there are coconuts

I’ve already tasted them, I don’t want any more

The fruit of your mouth is what would be welcome

[Refrain]

I’ll dive bare naked in the ocean

To bring you silvery fish

With shiny seashells

Yes but in return you know what I want

[Refrain]

We’ve each given with all our heart

What was best in us

On the floor of my hut by the waterside

That basket that’s moving is a little cradle

Fruit Salad, pretty, pretty, pretty

You delight your father, you delight your mother

Fruit Salad, pretty, pretty, pretty

You’re the fruit of our love,

Hello, little one!
