Si tu t'imagines [English translation]

If you figure,

if you figure,

little girl, little girl,

if you figure

that it will, it will

last forever,

the mating

the mating

the mating season,

you couldn't be

more wrong, girl.

Couldn't be more wrong.

If you think, kiddo,

if you think, ha ha

that your rosy complexion,

your slender waist,

your cute biceps,

your enamel nails,

your nymph's thigh

and your light foot,

if you think

that all this

will last forever,

you couldn't be

more wrong, girl.

Couldn't be more wrong.

They are soon gone,

the sunny party days.

Suns and planets

all go round in circles

as for you, lass,

you're walking straight

toward an unseen future:

they are already on the prowl,

the swift wrinkle,

the ponderous fat,

the tripled chin,

the flaccid muscle.

So come on, pick, pick

the roses, the roses,

the roses of life

the roses of life.

And may their petals

become the quiet sea

of all bliss

of all bliss

Come on, pick them all.

If you don't do it,

you couldn't be

more wrong, girl.

Couldn't be more wrong.
