Couleur menthe à l'eau [English translation]

She had done her make-up

Like a movie star

Leaning on the jukebox

She dreamed of posing

Just for a screen test

At the Century Fox

She looked pretty confident

Her mint green-colored eyes

Looking for a spot,

The godly spotlight

And I couldn't take it

Of course she didn't notice me

Lost in her megalo1

I was out of the picture

She was walking like a cat

Playing with its prey

Brushing by the flipper

The song that covered

All the words that she mimed

Looked heartbreaking to her

She was overdoing it a bit

The girl with the mint green eyes

Hollywood is on her mind

On her own she's rehearsing

Her entrance in a studio

With a mint green screen

Lost in her megalo

I'm out of the picture

But a guy came in

And the charm fell

Stopping the flipper

His black eyes shot

Some hostility

To the poor jukebox

The girl with the mint green eyes

Put away her megalo

And submitted to the black,

Sidewalk-colored eyes

And I couldn't take it anymore

She never knew anything about it

The prettiest liar

Mint green-colored
