Petit éléphant twist [English translation]

Darling, your dancing makes me laugh.

While doing this step, you look like a baby elephant.

I don't want to be mean, I'm sorry,

but your step is really that

of a very small, little, baby elephant.

A man can be a loser at any age

if he does not know how to twist like this, my little elephant.

And even if he claims to be with it, as soon as he dances,

he looks like very small, little, baby elephant.

It is nonetheless not all that difficult.

Look at me and move, my baby elephant.

Follow all my movements and be docile

and let yourself go

like the very small, tiny, little, baby elephants.

Rumor has it that sometimes elephants cheat

but you will always be mine, my little elephant.

My dancing heart beats wildly,

I am defenseless close to you,

my very small, little, baby elephant—

my baby elephant that I love so much—

my baby elephant.
