  1. Je ne sais pourquoi elle allait danser

    I don't know why she was going to dance

  2. À Saint-Jean, aux musettes

    In Saint-Jean, at the bagpipes

  3. Mais quand ce gars lui a pris un baiser

    But when that guy stole a kiss from her

  4. Elle frissonnait, t'étais chipé

    She shivered, you were caught

  5. Comment ne pas perdre la tête

    How can you not lose your mind

  6. Serré par des bras audacieux?

    Held tight in bold arms?

  7. Car l'on croit toujours

    For we always believe

  8. Aux doux mots d'amour

    In sweet words of love

  1. Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux

    When they're spoken with the eyes

  2. Elle qui l'aimait tant

    She who loved him so much

  3. Elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint-Jean

    She found him the most beautiful in Saint-Jean

  4. Elle restait grisée

    She remained tipsy

  5. Sans volonté, sous ses baisers

    Without will, under his kisses

  6. Sans plus réfléchir, elle lui donnait

    Without thinking further, she gave him

  7. Le meilleur de son être

    The best of her being

  8. Beau parleur, chaque fois qu'il mentait

    Smooth talker, every time he lied

  9. Elle le savait, mais elle l'aimait

    She knew it, but she loved him

  10. Comment ne pas perdre la tête

    How could one not lose their mind

    Without will, under his kisses

  19. Mais hélas, à Saint-Jean, comme ailleurs

    But alas, in Saint-Jean, like elsewhere

  20. Un serment n'est qu'un leurre

    A vow is just a lure

  21. Elle était folle de croire au bonheur

    She was crazy to believe in happiness

  22. Et de vouloir garder son cœur
