Ne sois pas si bête [English translation]

He is very shy, with his friends

but with the girls he fears nothing

each time we dance, he snubs us a bit

and in his arms, yes in his arms

he makes comments to us, like this

don't be so stupid, stupid, stupid

hold me tighter, and tighter still

don't worry, don't be scared of me

for you are still a little girl to me

he accompanies us up to our door

without kissing us, the devil wins the day

it's almost an insult, it's an odd game

when in his arms, yes in his arms

he makes comments to us, like this

don't be so stupid, stupid, stupid

hold me tighter, and tighter still

don't worry, don't be scared of me

for you are still a little girl to me

He honestly believes that he was the cleverest

but happily, that wasn't the case

One evening on vacation, he accompanied me

Me, I took him, yes, in my arms, and I said to him "darling, believe me"

don't be so stupid, stupid, stupid

hold me tighter, and tighter still

don't worry, don't be scared of me

for you are still a little boy to me

see, he was too stupid, stupid, stupid, he kissed me

kissed me again and since it's him who is lead

lead by the nose
