les filles de mon pays [English translation]

Ah how pretty the girls of my country are !

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

Yes how pretty the girls of my country are !

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

In their eyes , the sun of summer evenings shines

In them , the sea plays with the sky & make them dream

As soon as they are 16 years old , the least trouble ,

The least happiness make their hearts beat .

Ah how pretty the girls of my country are !

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

Yes how pretty the girls of my country are !

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

When a boy woos them , he already knows

That he won't get anything of their love the first time

He has to get engaged , he has to deserve

The hand he already holds in his hand .

Because they are the girls , the girls of my country

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

They are the honnour of the family , the girls of my country

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

The one who knows how to be loved will be happy

They have nothing to refuse to their lovers

Yes , but for that , they must face Dad

They must face Mom with a ring around your finger .

Ah how pretty the girls of my country are !

Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai

Yes how pretty the girls of my country are !
