Monsieur et Madame [English translation]

Mister, Misses, returned from vacation.

They celebrated twenty years of marriage.

He takes a pyjama from his luggage

While she puts grease on her face.

Mister is going to sleep, closes his eyes

He yawns deeply, "Good evening, darling."

Misses turns out the lights. "Scoot over a bit."

She goes to stretch out close to him.

But in the dark, he doesn't sleep.

All alone he returns to over there:

He dreams about a girl with blue eyes.

He dreams about her sensual mouth.

He thinks about her wonderful body.

Her hands so small and so beautiful.

He hears her voice and her laugh.

He pushes out an unhappy sigh

Mister doesn't sleep, he stretches.

He dreams about a girl with blue eyes...

Neither does Misses, in her little corner

Can't sleep, she is far away:

She dreams about a boy with blue eyes.

She dreams about his sensual mouth.

She thinks about his wonderful body,

His hands so strong and so beautiful.

Mister takes Misses into his arms.

They both close their eyes.

They say "I love you" quietly.

And live a wonderful dream.

Mister and Misses are happy

There are strange households...
