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
You are my love very, very, very, true
Et je voudrais pouvoir un jour enfin te le dire
And I wish I could one day finally tell you
Te l'écrire
Write it for you
Dans la langue de Shakespeare
In the language of Shakespeare
My daisy, daisy, daisy, désirable
My daisy, daisy, daisy, desirable
Je suis malheureux d'avoir si peu de mots
I'm unhappy to have so few words
A t'offrir en cadeaux
To offer you as gifts
Darling I love you, love you, darling I want you
Darling I love you, love 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, incredible
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, incredible
But how can you
But how can you
See me, see me, see me, si minable
See me, see me, see me, so pathetic
Je ferais mieux d'aller choisir mon vocabulaire
I better choose my words carefully
Pour te plaire
To please you
Dans la langue de Molière
In the language of Molière
Toi, tes yeux, ton nez, tes lèvres adorables
You, your eyes, your nose, your lovely lips
Tu n'as pas compris tant pis
You didn't understand, too bad
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 one, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for one, for me, for me, amazing
Je me demande même
I even wonder
Pourquoi je t'aime
Why I love you
Toi qui te moques de moi et de tout
You who mocks me and everything
Avec ton air canaille, canaille, canaille
With your mischievous air, mischievous, mischievous
How can I love you
How can I love you
