Dis à ton capitaine [English translation]

Say to your captain I love you

Say to your captain I miss you

Say to your captain I love you

Say to your captain I need you

The next summer, for the holydays

From tenth of july to the end of August

I promised to aunt Hortense

Who has invited us in Lavandou

Say to your captain so that he understands

Say to your captain he does this to me

Say to your captain I love you

But you know, between us, he doesn't have good taste

You get a pathetic jacket,

Your trousers are badly cut

And your terrible shoes

Disturb me a lot to dance

It hurts me because I love you

Say to your captain I am really angry

Say to your captain I love you

And it grieves me to be so far of you

It lasts only four weeks,

It's long like eternity

Oh yes, wait when you'll come back

To shower me with kisses

And if we are lucky that he understands

In advance, to the captain, say "thanks you" for me

And if we are lucky that he understands

Give to your captain a big kiss for me
