Milord [English translation]

Come, approach, Milord

Sit at my table

It’s so cold outside

And here it’s comfortable

Relax, Milord

And do not worry

[Put] your pains on my heart

And your feet at a chair

I do know you, Milord

[Though] you have never seen me

I am just a daughter of the port

A shadow of the street…

Although I brushed against you

When you passed yesterday

You were not little proud

Oh [My] Lady, you enjoyed the favour of Heaven

Your silk scarf

Floating on your arms

You had a nice role

One could say a king…

You marched as a conqueror

Arm in arm with a young lady

My God, how beautiful she was!

It froze my heart

Come, approach, Milord

Sit at my table

It’s so cold outside

And here it’s comfortable

Relax, Milord

And do not worry

[Put] your pains on my heart

And your feet at a chair

I do know you, Milord

[Though] you have never seen me

I am just a daughter of the port

A shadow of the street…

They say it’s enough sometimes

That there’s a ship

For everything to tear apart

When the ship goes out

It took with it

The sweetness from the eyes so tender

That can not understand

That she broke your life

Love makes [us] cry

Like the existence

It gives you all the chances

To take them back afterwards

Come, approach, Milord!

You look like a child

Relax, Milord

Come to my kingdom

I heal the remorses

I sing romance

I sing [to] the milords

That didn’t have any chance!

Look at me, Milord

You’ve never seen me…

But you’re crying, Milord?

I would have never believed that

Eh, good, see, Milord!

Smile to me, Milord!

That’s better, Milord! A little bit of effort…

Yes, that’s what I ment!

Come, laugh, Milord!

Come, sing, Milord!

La-la-la…

But yes, dance, Milord!

La-la-la… Well done, Milord!

La-la-la… Again, Milord! La-la-a…
