La fille de la bande [English translation]

Girls are nothing but cry babies

And we preferred living in a gang

Making petty thefts

From shopping centres

She admired our little world

That no fear attitude

She scrounged one of these cigarettes

That we smoke like Gary Cooper

Like Gary Cooper

I can't remember which of us whistled at her

I'll never forget her response

Three steps towards us and a slap

Without a warning shot

We looked down at our feet

Having never seen a naked woman

New blood in our veins

And like that she became

The girl of the gang

The girl of the gang

But a gang of happy idiots

And for sure, all in love

The city which is so big

Became our playground

And for sure, dangerous

But girls are far from cowardly

And our little gang of shoplifters

Our heads fired up but happy

Slipped themselves into these tights

It was the time of the Place Vendôme 1

And from the scrap metal gang

Enough to offer our girl

A movie star life

A movie star life

The girl of the gang

But a gang of happy idiots

And for sure, all in love

The city which is so big

Became our playground

And for sure, dangerous

We should've seen that the gold

that we hung on her mink coat

Made the noise of these locks

That seal the prisons

For sure the cell is bare

But we have this cover-girl

Who watches us from her poster

But is it really Katherine Hepburn

Or the girl of the gang

The girl of the gang

But a gang of happy idiots

And for sure, all in love

The city which is so big

Became our playground

And for sure, dangerous

The girl of the gang

But a gang of happy idiots

And for sure, all in love

The city which is so big

Became our playground

And for sure, dangerous
