Jolie môme [English translation]

Nothing on

Neath that tight

Top you don

Every night

Pretty baby

Crazy street

Gives a start

On each beat

Of your heart

Pretty baby

Kohl-rimmed eyes

Dance and dart

Melt the ice

In men’s hearts

Pretty baby

Meadow flowers

Sweet of scent

Gentle showers

For your friends

Pretty baby

Blossoms bud

To your time

Come the flood

Come sunshine

Just a rose

Blown too soon

No one chose

Petals strewn

Pretty baby

You’re the first

Ray of light

As dayburst

Cheats the night

You’re a vamp

With drapes drawn

Like a lamp

At the dawn

Pretty baby

Kisses slash

Like a sword

Type a dash

On your board

Pretty baby

Your pert breasts

Crack the shell

Fly the nest

Spread love’s spell

Pretty baby

Rustling frills

Guard the gate

But the thrill’s

Worth the wait

Pretty baby

Violet hides

Violin curves

In your tides

Something stirs

Pretty baby

Just a bloom

Passing time

Night or noon

Rain or shine

Just a star

Love’s delight

When night’s far

Veiled from sight

Pretty baby

Just the dot

On each ‘i’

Bear your lot

With a sigh

Just a seed

Under net

First we weed

Then forget

Pretty baby

Baby blues

In your face

All must lose

To your ace

Pretty baby

You’ve one rhyme

To your name

It must rhyme

Or face shame

Pretty baby

You’ve one source

To your spring

Its sole force

King of Kings

Pretty baby

You’ve one door

Draped in veils

Troubadour

Through it sails

Pretty baby

Just the taste

Of a flower

Sugar-cased

In a tower

When you run

Out of steam

Will someone

Smooth your seam?

Pretty baby

Just a leaf

Losing hue

Just a brief

To leaf through

Just a joy

That’s now past

I can bring

Back at last

Pretty baby

Nothing on

Neath that tight

Top you don

Every night

Nothing on

Neath that tight

Top you don

Every night

Pretty baby!
