Rien à jeter [English translation]

Without her hair that's blown around,

from now on I would have

a terrible job

to see which way the wind is blowing.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

I wonder how

I'd live without her cheeks

offering me lovely

fresh apples every day.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

Without her bosom, my head

deprived of cushion

would rest on the ground

and nothing's more unhealthy.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

Without her well-built hips

what could I use tomorrow

to grab with my hands

if I lost my balance?

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

She has a thousand other things

just as precious still

but in public I dare

not put her whole body on display.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

Of my darling's charms

I'll skip some of the best,

your anatomy courses

go take them somwhere else.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

Besides, it's her weakness:

she keeps hold of her bones

and would never allow herself

to be cut into bits.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.

She's some wee bit proud

and touchy enough

and one has to take the whole

of her or leave it.

Everything about her is right, there's nothing to throw away,

on a desert isle one has to bring everything.
