Le Cul de Lucette [English translation]

Sometimes I run cold

Rather prefer to set things right

And wish hell to these folks

Who express themselves like dicks (1)

Dear sirs in the streets

When you look at a nice ass

You can't but whisper "holy cow"

What an awesome ass she's got

Dear Lord, how such talk insults me

To talk like that of a nice pair of buttcheeks

Let me praise without further ado

The most noble part of all our women

First of all, there's the round ass

The ass that isn't inhibited at all

Who feels great when bored

As much as under the Marquise (2)

Then there's the pitiable hanging ass

That pokes holes into the sand (2b)

And there's the plump bouncy ass

The one that always looks like noon

My favourite one is that of Lucette

Her wonderful trumpet-shaped bum

It's the worldmap of happiness

That bum really has touched my heart

There's the ass that's a bit hairy

Who'd need a bit of a comb

Then there's the ass of Renée

Who wishes you a happy year

There's the everyday ass

And it takes two, to make it silent

And the aristocratic ass

That never uses swearwords

My favourite one is that of Lucette

The only one that smells like violets

If I don't see it for a week, I start crying

This ass really has captured my heart

There's the ass of Florence

That always says what it means

And there's the ass of Maguy

That is closed on Tuesdays

The one that's beckoning when it rains

That's the gentle ass of Maryse

That sounds like a drum

And wins every competition

My favourite one is that of Lucette

The one that never raises its head

That shows affection even in misfortune

This ass really has captured my heart

There's asses that look like whiskers

All hairdressers always take hold of those

And the asses most often mentioned

Those that have sidelines (3)

All those greedy folks in panties

Theres those asses that are disappointing (4)

Then there's old faded asses

Formed like a fleur-de-lys (5)

My favourite one is that of Lucette

It's like paradise clothed in pants (6)

It's an ass worthy of great men

That one's really the ass my heart desires

I've come around and have lived well

And I've seen thousands of asses

There's nothing like the brazilian ass

That withholds his fragrance (7)

I've seen asses of women from the maghreb

That are in need of a mosquito net

I've seen the ass of Ashi Moto (7b)

The one that's taking pictures

Yet I still prefer the one of Lycette

Don't touch it with your forks (9)

All you amateur ass-lovers

It is really the ass that's captured my heart
