Belle demoiselle [English translation]

From the end of my street

A silhouette like a sharp noise

Approaches at eye level

The silhouette, it's a girl

It's Bastille Day

Roaring like a military regiment

Grabbing my attention

I look at her, smile at myself

I lower my regard to say to myself

Refrain:

Beautiful lady

Who hurries through the alley

Her walk gives her wings

But I don't dare get carried away

If ever I approached her

No doubt she

Would fly away

Like a swallow

From the middle of my street

The silhouette like a cloud

Parts without a sound

It's serious

That bounces around in my head

Drugged to happiness

It's not really a holiday

But she seems to like me

What have I done to gracious God

To think all this

(refrain)

Untouchable as a swallow

I reckon in my head

Drugged to happiness

It's a holiday anyway

That distracting fantasy

I'm not perfect

Thank you, God

But I'm putting all this behind me
