J'ai rendez-vous avec vous [English translation]

My lord the blazing sun

Since I don't admire him a lot

Deprives me of his fire, yes but of his fire, I don't give a damn

I have a date with you.

The light I prefer

Is the one of your jealous eyes,

All the rest I couldn't care less

I have a date with you.

Mister my landlord

Since I devastate everything

Disloges me of his roof, but of his roof, I don't give a damn

I have a date with you.

The home I prefer

It's your frilly dress

All the rest I couldn't care less

I have a date with you.

Madam of the greasy spoon

Since I owe her too much money

Sweeps me away of her table, but of her table, I don't give a damn

I have a date with you.

The menu I prefer,

It is the flesh of your neck

All the rest I couldn't care less

I have a date with you.

His financial majesty

Since I do nothing to his liking

Keeps his gold, yet of his gold1, but of his gold, I don't give a damn

I have a date with you.

The fortune I prefer

It is your heart of tinder

All the rest I couldn't care less

I have a date with you.
