Madam, we did not understand
Milady please listen to what I tell you
No to your kisses I say no
No to your love I say no
To your languid smile I say
No no no.
I do not want your palaces I do not want the riches
I do not want caresses
You are rich but you are razor, look in the mirror
Do not you see you're old
Tell me what you want from me.
But since you insist on making the proposals
I'll tell you something I want from you
A slice of lemon a slice of lemon
A slice of lemon a slice of lemon
In my tea.
I do not want the hundred euro 1 or the money for the my fashion look 2
Nor the piles of gifts
You are rich but you are silly for me you are too skinny
So you do not pick up me
Tell me what you want from me
But since you insist on making the proposals
I'll tell you something I want from you
A slice of lemon a slice of lemon
A slice of lemon a slice of lemon
In my tea.
