You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, wonderful
You are my love very, very, very, véritable

Te l'écrire dans la langue de Shakespeare

My dési-dési-dési-désirable

Je suis malheureux

D'avoir si peu de mots à t'offrir en cadeaux
To have so few words to offer you as gifts
Darling, I love you, love you
Darling, I love you, love you
Darling, I want you
Darling, I want you
Et puis c'est à peu près tout
And then that's about it
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, amazing
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, amazing
But how can you see me, see me, se mee, si minable?
But how can you see me, see me, see me, so pitiful?
Je ferais mieux d'aller choisir mon vocabulaire

Ne t'en fais pas et viens-t'en dans mes bras
Don't worry and come into my arms
Darling, I love you, love you
Darling, I love you, love you
Darling, I want you
Darling, I want you
Et puis le reste, on s'en fout
And then the rest, we don't care
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, wonderful
Je me demande même pourquoi je t'aime
I even wonder why I love you
Toi qui te moques de moi et de tout
You who mock me and everything
Avec ton air canaille, canaille, canaille
With your mischievous air, mischievous, mischievous
How can I love you?
