C'est un gars [English translation]

My shoes are shedding their soles,

my dress is so ragged you can see through it

my top is all patched

and the rest pretty worn too.

Never mind what they all say,

I don't care about them all.

I kind of feel like laughing and singing,

what happened to me is just unbelievable.

It's a guy who came into my life

It's a guy who told me crazy things

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

Nobody had ever said that to me.

It's a guy who looked like an angel

It's a guy who talked like angels do

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

I'm all dazzled

Since I was a child I dwelled

the dark streets of ignorance.

All of a sudden everything lit up,

my heart started to sing.

A strolling love is a beautiful thing

when a handsome guy holds the leash.

You would want to remain captive

just to gaze at your jailer.

It's a guy who came into my life

It's a guy who told me crazy things

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

Nobody had ever said that to me.

It's a guy who looked like an angel

It's a guy who talked like angels do

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

Do you want me forever?

I do.
