Belles ! Belles ! Belles ! [English translation]

One day my father told me -- my boy

I see you going out at night

At your age there are a few things

That a young lad should know

Girls, you know, beware

It's not what you think

They are all so

Beautiful beautiful beautiful as the daytime

Nice nice nice as love

They'll make you crazy with joy

(And) crazy with grief, but believe me

You'll be more crazy for them them them day after day

The desire will only grow more and more *

You'll meet some

Maybe even one night

You'll forget to come back

The more of them you see, the more of them you'll have

And the more you understand

That in those moments, you will recall

That your old man said

They are all so

Beautiful beautiful beautiful as the daytime

Nice nice nice as love

They will make you crazy with their love

Maddened by grief but believe me

You'll be more crazy for them them them day after day

One day, at last, you will see her

You can't go wrong

You'll want to tell her I love you

But something about her makes you speechless

In a wink, you'll be united

For better or for worse

But you'll have it, real happiness

In the eyes of your heart

She will be

Beautiful beautiful beautiful as the daytime

Nice nice nice as love

Just like I said to your mother

You will tell her, while kissing

You are beautiful beautiful beautiful as the daytime

Nice nice nice as love

Beautiful beautiful beautiful as the day
