La lettre [English translation]

I received a letter

Maybe a month ago

It arrived by mistake

A mistake by the postman

Sprayed with perfume

Red lipstick

Maybe I shouldn't have

Opened this letter

But I am a man

Who likes these stakes

I don't care if she calls me

Alphonse or Fred, anything she wants

Anything she wants

Pretty daisies

At the top of her 'I''s

Curves written

Like they are in the abbeys

A few misspellings

A slight dyslexia

And by way of signature

A small, sexy, blond girl

And me, I am a man

Who likes these stakes

I don't like nuns

And I fell in love

In love

She wrote that on Sunday

She will be on the cliff

Where I took her by the hips

And if, hypothetically,

I wouldn't be tactful enough

To assume responsibility for my lovemaking

She will choose the impact

30 meters lower

And me, I am a man

Who likes these stakes

I don't want her to knock herself out

Because I fell in love with her

In love

Thanks to the dated stamp

From a city by the Channel

I was at the out-post

On Sunday morning

The place was deserted

I will have to be patient

Suicidal blondes

Are not plentiful

And me, I am a man

Who likes these stakes

I want to beat Newton

Because I felt in love with her

In love

She was hanging over the Channel

When I recognized her

I took her by the sleeve

My naive, little girl

Who wasn't that naive

From looking at her profile

That a little inhabitant

Was being made under her belly button

And me, I am a man

Who likes these stakes

I'd like him to call me

(Papa)... If he wants to
