Achète-moi un juke-box [English translation]

Even if I like school and lessons,

I also have an insane mind full of songs.

This is a passion that goes on day and night.

So I beg you:

oh papa, buy me a jukebox.

Oh papa, I dream so much of a jukebox.

If you buy it for me, I promise you

that I will no longer go out in the evening,

and you will find me doing my homework

listening to Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday.

(Dalida) What are they talking about?

(Dalida) But it's not at all that.

(Dalida) But what is she doing here?

Oh papa, buy me a jukebox.

Oh papa, you can give me a jukebox.

There is room for it in the house.

It can be installed in a corner of the living room.

It's really ideal for creating a family atmosphere.

Let's listen to Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday!

(Dalida) Elvis Presley.

(Dalida) The Black Socks.

(Dalida) One more time!

Every Saturday, I will invite my friends

to dance, to twist.

We will push back the furniture and then take up the carpets.

We will make for you a true surprise party.

Oh papa, buy me a jukebox.

Oh papa, when I get my jukebox,

I can, thanks to friends,

save up a lot of money in little time

because they will put their coins in the slot

to listen to Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday.

(Dalida) And the next Sunday,

(Dalida) we will buy tickets

to see Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday.

(Dalida) But they did not understand at all.

(Dalida) She's still here.

(Dalida) After all, why not?
