Je ne sais pourquoi elle allait danser
I don't know why she was going to dance
À Saint-Jean, aux musettes
In Saint-Jean, at the bagpipes
Mais quand ce gars lui a pris un baiser
But when that guy stole a kiss from her
Elle frissonnait, t'étais chipé
She shivered, you were caught
Comment ne pas perdre la tête
How can you not lose your mind
Serré par des bras audacieux?
Held tight in bold arms?
Car l'on croit toujours
For we always believe
Aux doux mots d'amour
In sweet words of love
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux
When they're spoken with the eyes
Elle qui l'aimait tant
She who loved him so much
Elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint-Jean
She found him the most beautiful in Saint-Jean
Elle restait grisée
She remained tipsy
Sans volonté, sous ses baisers
Without will, under his kisses
Sans plus réfléchir, elle lui donnait
Without thinking further, she gave him
Le meilleur de son être
The best of her being
Beau parleur, chaque fois qu'il mentait
Smooth talker, every time he lied
Elle le savait, mais elle l'aimait
She knew it, but she loved him
Comment ne pas perdre la tête
How could one not lose their mind
Serré par des bras audacieux?
Held tight by bold arms?
Car l'on croit toujours
For one always believes
Aux doux mots d'amour
To sweet words of love
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux
When they are spoken with the eyes
Elle qui l'aimait tant
She who loved him so much
Elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint-Jean
She found him the most handsome in Saint-Jean
Elle restait grisée
She remained intoxicated
Sans volonté, sous ses baisers
Without will, under his kisses
Mais hélas, à Saint-Jean, comme ailleurs
But alas, in Saint-Jean, like elsewhere
Un serment n'est qu'un leurre
A vow is just a lure
Elle était folle de croire au bonheur
She was crazy to believe in happiness
Et de vouloir garder son cœur
And to want to keep her heart
Comment ne pas perdre la tête
How can one not lose their mind
Serré par des bras audacieux?
Held tight by bold arms?
Car l'on croit toujours
For we always believe
Aux doux mots d'amour
In sweet words of love
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux
When they're spoken with the eyes
Elle qui l'aimait tant
She who loved him so much
Elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint-Jean
She found him the most handsome in Saint-Jean
Elle restait grisée
She remained intoxicated
Sans volonté, sous ses baisers
Without will, beneath his kisses
Elle qui l'aimait tant
She who loved him so much
Elle le trouvait le plus beau de Saint-Jean
She thought he was the most handsome in Saint-Jean
Il ne l'aime plus
He doesn't love her anymore
C'est passé
It's over
N'en parlons plus
Let's not talk about it anymore
Il ne l'aime plus
He doesn't love her anymore
On est du passé
We're part of the past
N'en parlons plus
Let's not talk about it anymore
