Les gens de ma sorte

Sont de vrais amours

Sur le pas d’ leur porte

Ils vous disent « Bonjour ! »

« Hello ! Tu viens chéri ? »

« Tu seras mon homme »

« Là-haut dans mon p’tit nid »

« Tu pourras admirer Paris »

Les gens de ma sorte

Ont un p’tit béguin  

Pour les gens qui portent

Le « chic parisien »

Pour faire des folies

Une douce ivresse :

Le Paradis des petites femmes de Paris

Sur les Champs-Elysées

Tout près des quais de la Seine

Au comptoir des cafés

Aux abords du Bois d’Vincennes

On peut les voir passer

Très  coquettes elles se promènent

Mon Dieu qu’elles sont jolies

Mais moi j’vous l’dit :

Les gens de ma sorte

Ont des rendez-vous

Qui parfois rapportent

Extrêmement beaucoup

Quand dîner sur l’boul’vard

D’vient une habitude

On n ‘a plus le cafard

Et les idées comme du café noir

Les gens de ma sorte

Rêvent de bijoux

Que les Dames portent

Autour de leur cou

Et si cela finit

Adieu la richesse...

Je veux aller là où mon cœur me conduit

Au Paradis des petites femmes de Paris

English translation :

LES PETITES FEMMES DE PARIS

People like me

Are proper dears

On their door step

They say 

« Allo darlin’ fancy a bit?”

“you’ll be my man »

”Up their in my little nest”

“You can admire Paris”

People like me 

Take a fancy

To people who wear

“Parisian chic”

So are follies

Are bathed in sweet inebriation:

The paradise of the little ladies of Paris

On the Champs Elysées

Right by the quays of the Seine

In the café bars

To the edges of the Bois de Vincennes

We see them go by

So coquettish as they walk

My word how pretty they are

But I must tell you people like me

Have rendez-vous

Which sometimes

Bring in a lot of money

When we become accustomed

To dining on the boulevard

We lose the blues

And thoughts as black as café noir.

People like me 

Dream of jewels

That grand ladies wear

Around their necks

And, dream over,

Farewell richness…

I want to go where my heart leads me

To the paradise of the little ladies of Paris

C’est fini 

Mon chéri

C’est fini

C’est la vie

Je m’ennuie

Mais je t’oublie

C’est la vie

Tant pis

Nous n’irons plus dans cette chambre bleue

Avec un balcon sur la mer

Nous n’aurons plus tous ces matins gris

Enlacés mais solitaires

English translation :

It’s over

That’s life

It’s over

My darling

That’s life

I am bored

But I forget you

That’s life

Too bad

We’ll never go again to that blue room

With a balcony over the sea

We’ll never again see those grey mornings

Entwined but alone

Oh why don't you take me to the moon

I'll fly with you in a baloon

and there you'll kiss me 

and we will walk back to you.

Oh this is just happening all too soon

my life looks like a cartoon

and then you'll kiss me

and i am all stuck with you.

And I oh I

just wanna fly high

whatever you say i'll blindly go your way

to the sky

And when we kiss

it seems as if we're glued together

forever and ever

'till the end of time.

Oh why don't you take me to the moon

I'll fly with you in a baloon

and there you'll kiss me
