Pour toi, mon amour [English translation]

I went to the bird market

and I bought birds

for you,

my love.

I went to the flower market

and I bought flowers

for you,

my love.

I went to the scrapiron market

and I bought chains

heavy chains

for you,

my love.

Then I went to the slave market

and I looked for you

but I couldn't find you

my love.
