La bonne du curé [version courte] [English translation]

I would really like too

(yes yes)

But I can not

(yes yes)

I would like to wear a mini-skirt

And a bra with holes

But apparently to collect the tithe,

you can't do that.

When I want to chat,

with the guys of the country,

I run to hide ...

behind the sacristy.

But when the devil, who's has a good heart, pulls me by the feet,

It itches me, it tickles me, it give me ideas.

I do shenanigans behind the church,

I can't stop myself,

May God forgive me, I'm the priest's maid.

I would really like too

(yes yes)

But I can not

(yes yes)

When there's a party, I go crazy

I would like to go dance

I would like to go on a motorbike

To go around the fields

And that a handsome guy tells me sweet words

With popular records

Because church songs don't measure up to Claude François [singer]

But when the devil, who's has a good heart, pulls me by the feet,

It itches me, it tickles me, it give me ideas.

I do shenanigans behind the church,

I can't stop myself,

May God forgive me, I'm the priest's maid.

la la la la la la

It's not convenient to be fashionable

When you are the priest's maid

It's not easy to have style

When you're a girl like me

Between the priesthood and the stern people

who are religious fanatics

Life is hard when you like to laugh

But when the devil, who's has a good heart, pulls me by the feet,

It itches me, it tickles me, it give me ideas.

I do shenanigans behind the church,

I can't stop myself,

May God forgive me, I'm the priest's maid.

I would really like too but I can not
