Jolie môme [English translation]

You're naked

Under your jumper

There is the street

That's crazy

Pretty girl.

Your lover

is kissing you

And happiness

is so near,

Pretty girl.

You've got the mascara

which is blowing off.

It's the thaw

of lovers

Pretty girl

Your meadow

Smells good.

Give it

To your friends

Pretty girl

You're just a flower

Of spring

That doesn't care about time

Nor weather

You're a rose

Opened out

That we lay

Beside

Pretty girl

You're just a little bit

Of sunshine

With the sorrow

from the alarm clock

You're a vamp

That one turns off

Like a lamp

In the morning

Pretty girl

Your kisses

are sharp

Like an acute accent

Pretty girl

Your little breasts

Are of the day

Like boiled eggs,

To be loved

Pretty girl

Your barrier

Of frills

One has to pass through it

But it's soft

Pretty girl

Your violet

Is the violin

That one treats with violence

And it's good

Pretty girl

You're a flower

Hobby

That doesn't care about time

And weather

You're a star

Of love

That one surrounds

During fine weather

Pretty girl

You're just a dot

On the i

Grief

Of life

And that one thing

Of life

That we water

That we forget

Pretty girl

You only have one pair

Of peepers

At poker

of the conquests

Pretty girl

You only have one rhyme

for happiness

It has to rhyme

Or to cries

Pretty girl

You only have one source

In the middle

That splashes

From the Good Lord

Pretty girl

You only have one door

veiled in white

That one pushes

Singing

Pretty girl

You're just a pauper

Small flower

That one marshmallow

And who dies

You're only a woman

For ironing

When his soul

Is crumpled

Pretty girl

You're just a leaf

Of autumn

That is striped off

With monotony.

You're just a joy

Gone away.

Come to my house

and find it again

Pretty girl

You're naked

Under your jumper

There is the street

That's crazy...

Pretty girl
