Élisa [English translation]

Élisa Élisa

Élisa throw your arms around my neck

Élisa Élisa

Élisa look for lice

Dig deep with your nails

And with your delicate fingers

Into the jungle

Of my hair

Lisa

Élisa Élisa

Élisa throw your arms around my neck

Élisa Élisa

Élisa look for lice

Give me a few curls

In the part in the middle

We have thirteen

Fourteen years difference

to each other

Élisa Élisa

Élisa we don't care about everyone else

Élisa Élisa

Élisa nothing but you, me, us

Your twenty years, my forty

If you believe that

That torments me

Oh no really

Lisa

Élisa Élisa

Élisa throw your arms around my neck

Élisa Élisa

Élisa look for lice

Dig deep with your nails

And with your delicate fingers

Into the jungle

Of my hair

Lisa!
