J'entendais depuis mon jeune âge
I heard since my young age
Mon papa qui me disait
My dad used to tell me
Prends bien garde aux femmes volages
Beware of the fickle women
À l'amour et ses attraits
To love and its charms
J'avais ça dans la mémoire
I had that in my memory
Je me croyais le plus fort
I thought I was the strongest
Mais depuis hier, quelle histoire
But since yesterday, what a tale
J'ai changé mon sort
I've changed my fate
L'amour a fait de moi un amoureux, madame
Love has made me a lover, madame
Madame
Lady
L'amour a fait de moi, c'est merveilleux, madame
Love has made me, it's marvelous, ma'am
Madame
Ma'am
Il a fait de moi tout ce qu'il a voulu
It has made me everything he wanted
Quand j'y pense, je n'me reconnais plus
When I think about it, I no longer recognize myself
Non plus
Not anymore
L'amour a fait de moi votre valet, madame
Love has made me your servant, ma'am
Madame
Ma'am
L'amour a fait de moi un adepte de plus
Love has made me one more devotee
Qui s'promène simplement en rêvant dans les rues
Who simply strolls while dreaming in the streets
L'amour a fait de moi un amoureux de plus
Love has made me one more lover
Je vais comme un somnambule
I walk like a sleepwalker
Répétant votre prénom
Repeating your name
Les passants que je bouscule
The passersby I bump into
Me disent "Alors quoi, faites attention"
Tell me 'So what, pay attention'
Je ne sais ce qu'il se passe
I don't know what's happening
J'crois vous voir à chaque pas
I think I see you with every step
Et les femmes que j'embrasse
And the women I kiss
Je n'les reconnais pas
I don't recognize them
L'amour a fait de moi un amoureux, madame
Love has turned me into a lover, madam
Madame
Madam
L'amour a fait de moi, c'est merveilleux, madame
Love has made me, it's wonderful, madame
Ah, madame
Ah, madame
Il a fait de moi tout, tout, tout c'qu'il a voulu
It made me everything, everything, everything it wanted
Quand j'y pense, je ne me reconnais plus
When I think of it, I no longer recognize myself
Non plus
Not anymore
L'amour a fait de moi votre valet, madame
Love has made me your servant, madame
L'amour a fait de moi un adepte de plus
Love has made me one more believer
Qui s'promène simplement en rêvant dans les rues
Who simply strolls while dreaming in the streets
L'amour a fait de moi, oui
Love has made me, yes
L'amour a fait de moi, ah
Love has made me, ah
L'amour a fait de moi
Love has made me
Un amant plein de joie
A lover full of joy
