French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
French kiss
Paris danse sous la lune
Paris dances under the moon
Chacun cherche sa chacune
Everyone searches for their other half
Dans le nocturne tapage
In the noisy nighttime
Les Amants tournent la page
The Lovers turn the page
Sur les plages de Saint-Trop'
On the beaches of Saint-Tropez
Des histoires se télescopent
Stories collide
Au matin quelques fêtards
In the morning, a few partygoers
Se racontent leurs faits d'armes
Share their tales of conquest
Pas de route 66
No Route 66
Rien qu'un grand feu d'artifice...
Just a grand fireworks display...
Pour faire fondre la banquise
To melt the ice cap
Et dépasser les balises
And surpass the buoys
C'est la langue qui voyage
It's the language that travels
Le bagout pour seul bagage
With only charm as baggage
L'océan du grand ouest
The ocean of the great west
Qui emporte tout le reste
That carries everything else away
C'est ainsi qu'on se pardonne
That's how we forgive each other
Ici qu'on s'abandonne
Here is where we let go
Très très loin de l'Amérique
Very very far from America
Dans un baiser amnésique...
In an amnesiac kiss...
French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
Très très loin de l'Amérique
Very very far from America
Parait que Paris est magique
It seems that Paris is magical
Perdu dans Los Angeles
Lost in Los Angeles
Les anges se reconnaissent
The angels recognize each other
S'auréolent de caprice
They are crowned with whimsy
Entre Venus et Venice
Between Venus and Venice
Les rêves se vendent au gramme
Dreams are sold by the gram
Ont un goût de paradis
They have a taste of paradise
Mais tel Icare ils se crament
But like Icarus, they get burned
Quand le soleil est parti
When the sun has gone
Le vent souffle sur la plaine
The wind blows over the plain
Transatlantique est la peine
Transatlantic is the pain
Sur les ponts, sur les boulevards
On the bridges, on the boulevards
Les filles allument le fard
The girls light up their makeup
Pour écraser le cafard
To crush the blues
Des garçons qui rentrent tard
The boys come home late
Les poètes poétisent
The poets poetize
Déjà les lèvres s'aiguisent
Already the lips sharpen
Et transpercent d'ironie
And pierce with irony
Le ventre de l'insomnie
The belly of insomnia
Il se parle d'Amérique
He talks about America
Dans un baiser électrique
In an electric kiss
French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
Très très loin de l'Amérique
Very, very far from America
Parait que Paris est magique
Seems like Paris is magical
Dans les rues de Big Apple
In the streets of Big Apple
Les âmes sont souvent seules
Souls are often lonely
Embrassent le souvenir
Embracing the memory
Du baiser qui fait sourire, qui fait souffrir
Of the kiss that brings a smile, that brings pain
French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
French kiss,
(French French fries
French French fries, French French French fries)
Très très loin de l'Amérique
Very, very far from America
Parait que Paris est magique
Seems that Paris is magical
French kiss...
French kiss
