Le plus beau du quartier [English translation]

Look at me

I'm the best looking on the block

I'm the pet boy

As soon as you take a look at me

You feel bewitched

Charmed really, hmmm

Anywhere I go

Women caress me

With their concealed stares

I don't even have to try, I don't

I'm the best looking on the block, hm hm hm

Could it be my face

My skin so finely textured

My smooth looks

Is it my stance

Or even the anglo-saxon grace

Of my curves

Could it be my smile

Or else the distinguished elegance

Of my cashmere

Whatever it might be

I'm the best looking on the block, hmm, but

But be wary of my beauty

Of my exquisite ambiguity

I'm the king

Of desirability

And I am out of reach (the one you can't undress)

Observe me, hmhmhm

Observe me from head to toe

You won't see anyone like me

I'm the favorite one

The dear friend

Of all the ladies

And of their husbands too

Look at me

Look at me, hmhmhmh

I'm the best looking on the block

I'm the preferred one

My beautiful victims

Would like to hang themselves with my shoelaces

But it would just ruin them

The pretty men, them

They would really like to undress me

They obsess over it

I don't even have to try, really I don't

I'm the best looking on the block, but

But be wary of my beauty

Of my exquisite ambiguity

I'm the king

Of desirability

And I am out of reach (you can't undress)

Observe me, hmhmhm

Observe me from head to toe

You won't see anyone like me

I'm the favorite one

The lil' darling

Of all the ladies

And of their husbands

Yes, theirs too ;)
