Augustin [English translation]

"My dear child, please stay at home tonight

It will be dark soon"

"Please, Mum, you know that we will meet tonight

He can't go on his own, right?

If he has to wait for his girl for just one second

He'll go home immediately and he'll never come back again"

Augustin never waits for a girl in love

He's young, he's king, he's handsome and popular

Hold my hat, where are my shoes?

Get the brooch from my casket

I'm going to meet Augustin soon!

My dear Mum, don't wait up, please

I'll be twenty-two soon

It won't be as late as two nights ago

Oh... I've got to hurry now

If I run, I'll make it just on time

Ah... I've got a run in my stocking, right now of course!

Augustin never waits for a girl in love

He's young, he's king, he's handsome and popular

Is he going to go away now to whistle for Kristin

Or are you going to wait for me, Augustin?

Puzzled and worried, he's standing in the moonlight

What about his nonchalance now?

He'd never thought he'd truckle to a girl who's late

No, it was always another one who'd get a chance

But that's how life goes—what you can't get

Is what you want most, if you know what I mean

Augustin got to wait until he was just as in love

Despite being young, being king, being handsome and popular

Yeah, that's who things go for someone who becomes a man too son

And Augustin will never forget that
