Prs du feu qui danse, le fauteuil se balance

Et berce ton pre endormi

The cat on the carpet have very much fun

Qu'un mariage cote bien du mal

La lumire de la lampe fume et chancelle

Tes yeux se couvrent d'un rideau de dentelles

Ne les laisse pas se fatiguer mon amie

Demain, il faut tre jolie





The light of the lamp smokes and wobles

Your eyes get covered with a lacy curtain

Don't let them bore you my friend

Tomorrow you must be pretty

Et quand l'orgue chantera

Lorsqu'enfin tu lui prendras le bras

Puissent des millions d'toiles au fil des heures

Semer votre route de bonheur





And when the organ will sing

When finally you'll take his arm

Hope millions of star along with the hours

Sowing you path of joy
