Gare à toi, Gargantua [English translation]

Day or night, your apetite is insatiable.

You want to eat everything, devour everything, even the table.

As soon as someone mentions girls to you, your eyes light up.

But, be careful Gargantua, you're only allowed to snack on me.

Like a connaisseur, you swallow hearts by the dozen.

For such a gourmet, your palate is really rather modern.

The birds in your throat are still on the couch*

But, be careful Gargantua, you're only allowed to snack on me.

Are you not afraid of getting a spot of indigestion?

Gobbling up so much fresh flesh? It's not good.

Remember your diabetes. You should go on a diet.

For dinner tonight I haven't bought much.

Your favourite dish will be lying among the roses

And take as much as your hunger lets you, tonight and tomorrow.

But, be careful Gargantua, because if you don't eat it

It might happen that I'll be the one eating your forever and ever
