Toi, c'est mademoiselle ou madame?
You, are you miss or madam?
Tu m'as l'air sympa, dis-moi, c'est quoi ton programme?
You seem nice, tell me, what's your plan?
Ra-ka-ta-ka-ta
Toi, c'est mademoiselle ou madame?

Suis-moi pour la vie et je t'appellerai ma femme
Follow me for life and I'll call you my wife
Oh-oh-oh, madre mia, j'te présente mi amor
Oh-oh-oh, mother mine, let me introduce my love
C'est mi querida, y a que elle pour m'épauler
She's my darling, only she can support me
Ah Zyla, yeux verts et cheveux dorés
Ah Zyla, green eyes and golden hair
Pour elle, j'ai du courage, comme un toreador
For her, I have courage, like a bullfighter
Ley-la-ley-ley-la
La vie est belle quand t'es là
Life is beautiful when you're here
Ley-la-ley-ley-la
La vie est belle dans tes bras
Life is beautiful in your arms
Amor Esperando
Love Waiting
Toi et moi, on s'aime comme des ados

Elle sait que j'suis in love, et câlin toute la noche
She knows I'm in love, and cuddling all night long
Trop douce, un peu insolente, des bisous dans le coche
So sweet, a little cheeky, kisses in the car
J'crois bien qu'on s'est trouvés, nous deux, c'est que calor
I think we've found each other, just us, it's so hot
Moi, j'fais que innover, dans mes bras mi amor (Un, dos, tres)
Me, I only innovate, in my arms mi amor (One, two, three)
