Sur Le Macadam [English translation]

On the asphalt

Mylady and her love

spun around three times

On the screaming asphalt

Mylady and her lover

took the wrong turn

So do, do, do

great loves.

So they spin, spin, spin

around three times and are gone.

On the asphalt

Mylady and her love

spun around three times

On the screaming asphalt

Mylady and her lover

drove down the mean bend1

So do, do, do

great loves.

So they spin, spin, spin

around three times and are gone.

Beware, my soul2!

Great loves

are sometimes playing nasty tricks.

Beware, ladies, (of the) torments3

Beware, ladies, of the womanizers 4

The womanizers
