24 000 baisers [English translation]

Love me

as I love you.

If you leave me in charge,

for a whole day,

I'll kiss you

24 000 times.

I place bets all around

without losing more than ten seconds.

I promise in front of everyone

to give you 24 000 kisses.

I know not what's happening.

You see honey, the more I kiss you,

the more I long to hug you!

yé, yé, yé, yé, yé, yé, yé, yé...

I rather like it when you hug me

and because you know I'm not wooden,

I won't leave my place

when I give you twenty-four thousand kisses.

I draw a stick every ten thousand.

I'm now at at least eight hundred thousand,

but I don't want to stop!

yé, yé, yé, yé, yé, yé, yé, yé...

And when at a hundred years

we need to leave the earth,

without even saying a prayer

I'm pretty sure Saint Peter

in seeing me always honest

will allow me to kiss you

for [all] eternity!

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya...
