Cuizinier (The Chef) with your little sex surrounded by red pubes

I really can't believe that you actually believe we want you

I don't believe it would be true even in the dark, even if you keep your pajamas on 

Even if you keep on your “bathrobe”, a has-been t-shirt  

Keep your shirt on, it'll limit the damage, bastard

I want to see you 

In a porno flick 

In action with your dick 

Its shape either potatoes or fries 

To know everything

About your anatomy 

About your cousin Teki 

And your fetish accessories 

Cuizi, what's this?

Your favorite position?

Your Olympic performances? 

But you don't have anything orgasmic 

You're completely naked 

Under your apron

Ready to strip 

But I must admit nothing's going to work 

You dream of a Hummer Fluo 

Designed by Akroe 

But you don't have a license

You always take the metro 

Superstar for one night, after that, your life returns to normal 

You don't need sunglasses to keep people from recognizing you 

Your proof of insurance waits for you, dude 

It's not from your flying lyrics

I've manage to make you 

One with my scanner 

There's no cover charge tonight 

It's the only way to get anyone to come

So us girls go for a drive 

Yeah we're going to Chippendale’s 

We hadn't intended to spend the night with some jokers 

We would like see some pecks, some men hung like bulls 

Your posters of Lil' Jon covered up those of Magic Johnson 

Your body is too crunk in order to pull off dunks 

Cuiziner it's you that I want to see 

That I want to see tonight 

Ridiculed by a girl who raps better than you 

I don't have enough fingers to count in the room 

All these coiffed girls like me who know that you're just pubes

We listen to the Gregorian chant, 

She scarcely speaks and I say nothing 

We have a relationship like that 

Fanny Ardant and me 

I spend the evening with Sylvain 

During which she checks out the wallpaper 

We stay separated 

Me and Fanny Ardant 

She sits on the shelf 

Between an Eric Holder book,

A white IKEA candlestick holder,

And a postcard from Maria 

She is always completely black and white 

She no longer says “Finally, Sunday!”

Since I hang around my parents' house 

Every weekend 

Fanny Ardant 

I don't speak to her about the college girls of Jussieu* 

She doesn't speak too much of Depardieu 

Yes, we avoid those subjects 

Fanny Ardant and me 

There's something in her eyes 

Which rebuke me for returning too late 

She wants me to be home all the time

Of course Fanny Ardant 

She sits on the shelf 

Between an Eric Holder book,

A white IKEA candlestick holder,

And a postcard from Maria 

She is always completely black and white 

She no longer says “Finally, Sunday!”

Since I hang around my parents' house 

Every weekend 

Fanny Ardant 

We listen to the Gregorian chant, 

She scarcely speaks and I say nothing 

We have a relationship like that 

Fanny Ardant and me

I was walking down the avenue, my heart open to the unknown 

I felt like saying hello to anyone 

Anyone, and it was you, I said whatever came to mind

Just talking to you was enough to win you over

At the Champs-Elysées, at the Champs-Elysées

In the sun, beneath the rain, at noon or midnight 

There's everything you desire at the Champs-Elysées

You told me ''I have a meeting place in a basement with some madmen 

Who live with a guitar in their hand, from night to morning.'' 

So I went along with you, we sang, we danced 

And we didn't even think of kissing 

Last night two strangers and this morning on the avenue, 

Two lovers completely dazed by the long night 

And of the Étoile à la Concorde, an orchestra with a thousand strings 

All the birds at daybreak sing of love

My little soldier is dead 

He played the drum 

My little soldier is dead 

He told me about love 

He played for love, for war

He put flowers on his gun 

But he didn't listen to my prayers 

And I cried when he left 

My little soldier is dead 

He played the drum 

My little soldier is dead 

And I loved his drumming of love

He played for love, for war

But he spoke of death while laughing 

He fell close to the river 

Where we played when we were children 

He played for love, for war

And I still hear him every night 

He comes and strolls along the river 

And kisses me when I'm asleep

My little soldier is dead 

He played the drum 

My little soldier is dead 

I will love him always 

La la la la...

Forget about the girls

Forget about the girls

One day you're going to the one left behind 

Forget about the girls

Forget about the girls

One day you're going to be the one crying

Yes I cried but on that day 

No, I won't cry 

No, I won't cry 

I'll say, “It serves you right!”

I'll say, “That'll teach you!”

I'll say, “That'll teach you!”

Forget about the girls

Forget about the girls

It's going to be an ill turn for you

Forget about the girls

Forget about the girls

You'll pay one of these days

One doesn't play recklessly 

With an innocent heart 

With an innocent heart 

You'll see what I'm feeling 

Before you know it 

Before you know it 

Luck abandons 

Those who only know 

How to leave behind wounded hearts

You'll have no one 

To console you 

You won't get away with it

Forget about the girls

Forget about the girls

One day you're going to the one left behind 

Forget about the girls

Forget about the girls

One day you're going to be the one crying

No, for your complaining there won't be 

Anyone other than you

Anyone other than you

Then you're remember 

Everything I'm telling you now

Everything I'm telling you now

No Charlie 

Don't make me wait any longer 

Quickly come over to the house 

Today 

I believe that you're the best 

At repairs

I'm begging you... 

My airplane... 

Since your departure has been delayed...

And to touch the sky I no longer have, I no longer have

Any artificial clouds 

My airplane... 

Since your departure has been delayed...

And in order to touch the sky I need

You to lend me your wings

There will be 

Some Chinese tea and some liquorice 

And then some chocolate 

You'll see 

Later, we'll go to the old dock 

But come home quick,

I'm begging you... 

My airplane... 

Since your departure has been delayed...

And to touch the sky I no longer have, I no longer have

Any artificial clouds 

My airplane... 

Since your departure has been delayed...

And in order to touch the sky I need

You to lend me your wings

My airplane... 

Since your departure has been delayed...

And in order to touch the sky I need

You to lend me your wings

We're not angels

Angels from heaven 

Would find this world very strange

If they were to fall so far

No, we possess nothing of the angels,

Angels from heaven 

Leave them up there in the sky 

Earth isn't paradise

The boys look like girls 

With their long hair 

As for us girls 

We look like boys

Wearing pants

We're not angels

Angels from heaven 

Would find this world very strange

If they were to fall so far

No, we possess nothing of the angels,

Angels from heaven 

Leave them up there in the sky 

Earth isn't paradise 

The boys kiss the girls 

The girls wearing pants 

As for us girls 

We love the boys 

With their long hair

The boys kiss the girls 

The girls wearing pants 

As for us girls 

We love the boys

When we're born one fine day 

There's fifty relatives all around 

Who only speak to you in Japanese 

And break all your toys 

Oh la la la what a family!

Oh la la la what a family!

How we would be happy on earth 

Without all these relatives! 

Oh la la la what a family!

Oh la la la what a family!

What joy there would be if there were 

Nothing but children! 

On the television Papa likes the politics,

Mama the soaps,

(Inaudible)
When she plugs in football!

Oh la la la what a family!

Oh la la la what a family!

How we would be happy on earth 

Without all these relatives! 

Oh la la la what a family!

Oh la la la what a family!

What joy there would be if there were 

Nothing but children! 

We're fighting or we're laughing 

It's our way of loving each other 

But if there's trouble

Everyone bands together 

Oh la la la what a family!

Oh la la la what a family!

They amuse me so much 

And I love the madness!

Oh la la la what a family!

Oh la la la what a family!

And it's what I want to keep 

For the rest of my life!

Teddy, my lovely teddy 

The confidant  

Of my childish heart 

Teddy, this evening I was expecting 

Him to come get me, 

He forgot me

Teddy, you seem surprised 

To see me crying 

You mustn't scold me, 

Don't sulk, 

Don't be so stupid, 

Stupid, stupid, stupid 

Come console me 

Teddy, my lovely teddy 

Everything is sorted 

Everything has changed 

Teddy, this boy that I love 

Promised that he loves me 

He kissed me 

And even, I can confess to you, 

He wants to marry me 

In a few years 

If you're good

Very, very, very, very good 

I'll take you along

On this great journey 

Translation of ''Dis à Ton Capitaine'' by France Gall

Dis à Ton Capitaine by France Gall

Tell your captain

That I love you 

Tell your captain

That I'm bored without you

Tell your captain

That I love you 

Tell your captain

That I need you 

Next summer for vacation 

From July 10th to the end of August 

I promised Aunt Hortense 

Who invited us to the LaVandou

Tell your captain

That he understands  

Tell your captain

That he'll do this for me

Tell your captain

That I love you 

“But you know, just between us, that 

He doesn't have good taste”

You have jacket that is shabby

Your pants are poorly cut 

And your appalling shoes 

Bother me too much for dancing 

It pains me 

Because I love you 

Tell your captain

That I'm very angry 

Tell your captain

That I love you 

That I'm so troubled 

Being so far away from you 

It's just been four weeks

It's felt like an eternity 

Oh, yes I'm waiting for you to return

To cover me in kisses 

And if we're lucky 

He'll understand

In advance, to your captain,

Tell him thank you for me 

And if we're lucky 

He'll understand 

Give your captain 

A big kiss for me

When my night boat 

Just leaves the port

Softly, I fall asleep 

And suddenly I've set off 

To distant lands 

Which I revisit in the morning

I've visited 

Polynesia 

And the Milky Way

I've seen some Sioux 

And Papuans 

When my night boat 

Just leaves the port

Softly, I fall asleep 

There's only one problem

As far as I dream 

You're everywhere

With pretty girls

Dancing in your arms

In every place 

At every step 

You're there 

And my night boat 

No longer leaves the port 

It's too painful 

To sleep 

So I'm begging you 

Set sail along with me 

In my night boat

In my boat for life

I am a doll of wax

A doll of sound*

My heart is etched in my songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound 

Am I better, am I worse 

Than a mannequin 

I just see the good, sweet life**

Doll of wax, doll of sound

My disks are a mirror 

In which every person can see me 

I am everywhere at once 

Shattered in a thousand splinters of voice 

Around me I hear laughter 

The rag dolls 

Who dance to my songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

They let themselves be seduced 

For a yes, for a name***

Love isn't what's in the songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

Only sometimes I sigh 

I tell myself what good 

Is singing without love, without reason, 

Without even knowing boys 

I am only a doll of wax

A doll of sound 

Under the sunshine of my blond hair 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

But one day I will live out my songs 

Doll of wax, doll of sound

Without being afraid of the warmth of boys

Doll of wax, doll of sound

Here's a short list of the entendres: 

*This phrase could also literally mean a doll of sawdust, which is an early form of ragdoll commonly made for children. It can also be thought of to mean “singing doll”.
**The phrase used is akin to "seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses"

***”Pour un oui, pour un non” (which sounds like the lyrics, "pour un oui, pour un nom") literally means “for a yes, for a no”, and indicates a question or action that someone doesn't really think or care about. So the lyrics are intended to reflect that these girls are seduced by an acceptance, or simply a name of someone, without thinking.  

Translation of ''J'ai Retrouvé Mon Chien'' by France Gall

When I saw at home 

The empty doghouse 

I shouted everywhere 

"Where is my doggy"

My parents told me:

“Your little poodle,

My poor dear,

He ran away”

Oh good Saint Anthony 

Find my dog!

His name is Charlemagne

And he has a green collar 

He loves the countryside

He hates cocker spaniels 

His snout is all black 

And his eyes are chocolate 

He doesn't bark a lot 

And he's afraid of large cats 

Please

Saint Anthony 

Find my dog!

I ran everywhere 

Knocked on doors 

Asked everywhere 

“Where is my doggy?”

But when I returned home 

In front of my door 

He was waiting for me  

Shivering from the cold 

Thank you Saint Anthony 

I found my dog!

Seeing from his escapade 

He was covered in mud and dirt 

I said to myself “Oh good grief, 

Good grief what can you do.”

I took him in my arms 

He looked at me with such happiness in his eyes 

And his eyes seemed to say:

“Please forgive me”

Thank you so much Saint Anthony 

For bringing my dog back 

Thanks to you, Saint Anthony 

I found my friend 

Thank you so much Saint Anthony 

For bringing my dog back 

Faut-il Que Je T'aime by France Gall

The other night I was waiting 

When a boy approached me 

He saw that I was crying 

He wanted to console me

During the entire time he spoke to me 

It was you who I was thinking of 

It was him who spoke to me 

But it was you who I heard

Oh God, must it be that I love you

Must it be that I love you

Since I'm telling you this

Oh God, must it be that I love you

Must it be that I love you

Since I'm telling you this

He was so nice 

Bring on the good times, so we left 

We went go-karting 

Driving and then bowling 

All the time that we had fun 

It was you who I thought of 

It was you who was there 

It was him who wasn't there 

Oh God, must it be that I love you

Must it be that I love you

Since I'm telling you this

Oh God, must it be that I love you

Must it be that I love you

Since I'm telling you this

When he took me back home

He wanted a kiss 

But I explained to him 

That I was almost engaged 

Just a kiss on the cheek 

Good night, thank you 

It was him who left me 

But it was you who I missed 

Oh God, must it be that I love you

Must it be that I love you

Since I'm telling you this

Oh God, must it be that I love you

Must it be that I love you

Since I'm telling you this

Teenie Weenie Boppie by France Gall

Teenie Weenie Boppie 

Took some LSD 

A sugar cube and then 

On the brink of madness 

A Rolls Royce brushes past her with its wing 

A "rock prince" is at the wheel

He waves at her 

With his fine lace and ruffles

Teenie Weenie Boppie 

Took some LSD 

A sugar cube and then 

Passed out on the ground 

A tall boy in southern clothes

Extends his two white-gloved hands 

At his fingers a lilac amethyst  

In the claw it's tinted white

Teenie Weenie Boppie 

Took some LSD 

A sugar cube and then 

Already in pain 

What are these exquisite colored flowers 

That drift along with the currant 

It's Mick Jagger who in the Thames 

Is drowned in his beautiful garments

Teenie Weenie Boppie

Died in the night 

From what else, but taking 

A dose of LSD 

Sacré Charlemagne by France Gall

Who had this crazy idea 

One day to invent school?

It's this sacred Charlemagne 

Sacred Charlemagne

To give us just

Sundays and Thursdays 

It's this sacred Charlemagne 

Sacred Charlemagne

This son of Pépin le Bref

Gives us lots of trouble

And we have a hundred complaints 

Against, against, against him

Who had this crazy idea 

One day to invent school?

It's this sacred Charlemagne 

Sacred Charlemagne

Past participle 

Four plus four is eight 

French lesson 

And mathematics 

Which is the work of

Sacred sacred sacred Charlemagne

He should have caressed 

His flowery beard for a long time  

Oh oh sacred Charlemagne

Sacred Charlemagne

Instead of boring us 

With geography 

Oh oh sacred Charlemagne

Sacred Charlemagne

If he only had to deal with

Battles and hunting 

We wouldn't be required 

To spend every day in class

Having to learn to count

And take lots of notes 

Oh oh sacred Charlemagne

Sacred Charlemagne

Past participle 

Four plus four is eight 

French lesson 

And mathematics 

Which is the work of

Sacred sacred sacred Charlemagne 

Because without him in our life 

There would be more than just Thursdays 

Oh oh sacred Charlemagne

C'est Pas Facile D'être Une Fille by France Gall

It's not easy, 

No, believe me,

To be a girl 

But I don't really 

Know why

It's not easy 

To be pretty 

To be nice 

And to know how to fight in life 

Among all these boys 

Who sing their song

Where is the truth, the good?

It's not easy 

To break free 

From your family 

When one has 

The world to discover 

Telling your parents 

Open, now, 

The double doors 

It's not easy 

When you have 

A desire to have fun 

To laugh and to dance 

To come back at midnight 

While leaving your friends 

It's not easy 

Not every day 

To be a girl

And not know 

Where to find love 

Translation of ''Au Clair De La Lune'' by France Gall

 Au Clair De La Lune (In the Moonlight) by France Gall

My God, who I love 

For loving me like this

I love you, I love you

Stay close to me

In a field of stars 

Love leads us 

With every stop 

In paradise 

My God, who I love 

For loving me like this

I love you, I love you

Stay close to me

I have a trembling heart

Oh, let's stay seated

With nothing but being together 

We leave life behind

My God, who I love 

For loving me like this

I love you, I love you

Stay close to me

In the moonlight 

A love is born 

No need of a pen 

To talk to you

No need of a pen 

To talk to you

Bonne Nuit by France Gall

The day is going to end
For the grown-ups, for the children
The sun has already set
You should do as he has

Goodnight my little friends
Goodnight, sleep well
Goodnight my little friends
Sleep until tomorrow

All the tricks that we could have played
All throughout the day
We can now talk about them
Secretly between us

Goodnight my little friends
Goodnight, sleep well
Goodnight my little friends
Sleep until tomorrow

The sun has already set
You should do as he has
Goodnight my little friends
Goodnight, sleep well

Boom Boom by France Gall

My engine was singing boom boom

And the night was falling boom boom 

At the street corner I didn't see you 

And I heard boom boom

An officer told me boom boom 

You've killed him boom boom 

I have a murder on my hands

I was good for the boom boom

You didn't budge more than death 

Lying on the pavement 

I was plagued by remorse 

When you came back to life

The emotion, the fear boom boom

The happiness, the heart boom boom 

All left me exhausted, broken 

In your arms I went boom boom

It's wonderful to live in such

A shattering love 

But I shivered when you told me, 

“I want lots of children”

Rosalie, Lucas boom boom

Virginie, François boom boom

Julie et Bruno, Janette et Janot

And then twins boom boom

Gare à Toi Gargantua by France Gall

Day or night 

Your appetite is insatiable 

You want to eat everything, devour everything 

Even the table 

As soon as you talk about girls 

Your eyes start to shine 

But watch yourself Gargantua

You better bite only me

As a connoisseur 

You've swallowed hearts by the dozen 

For a foodie 

You have such a modern palate 

The birds in your throat 

Are always appetizers 

But watch yourself Gargantua

You better bite only me

Aren't you afraid of getting indigestion? 

To swallow so much raw flesh can't be good 

Watch your diabetes 

Or you'll have to go on a diet 

Tonight for dinner I haven't bought much 

Your favorite dish will be lying among the roses 

And eat well to satiate yourself

For tonight and for tomorrow 

But watch yourself Gargantua

Because if you don't eat

It's possible that forever and ever 

It'll be me who bites you 

Bébé Requin (Baby Shark) by France Gall

Come follow me, 

I know an enamel route 

Which leads 

To the land of pearls and coral 

I am a baby shark 

From white belly to pearly teeth 

In the warm waters 

I will drag you away 

And without you knowing it

With love, with sweetness 

Me, the pretty baby shark 

I want to devour your heart 

Baby shark baby velvet

Baby shark baby of love 

Come play, play leapfrog in the waves 

I am going to make you go down in a sky of sand

I am a baby shark 

From white belly to pearly teeth 

In the warm waters, I will drag you away 

And without you knowing it

With love, with sweetness 

Me, the pretty baby shark 

I am going to devour your heart 

Baby shark baby velvet

Baby shark baby of love 

Baby shark baby velvet

Baby shark baby of love 

And, if necessary, I'll fight my sister 

I want to be the only one to eat your heart 

I am a baby shark 

From white belly to pearly teeth 

In the warm waters, I will drag you away 

And without you knowing it

With love, with sweetness 

Me, the pretty baby shark 

I am going to devour your heart

The few pennies that you're going to make

You'll have to work hard for 

To rise at dawn 

Autumn as well as summer 

You'll have to be so frugal 

You won't be able to put anything aside 

And still on this subject 

Happily if you can manage it 

Come on, dance 

Sing, dance Baby pop

As if tomorrow Baby pop

Should never Baby pop

Never come again

Sing, dance Baby pop

As if tomorrow Baby pop

In the early morning Baby pop

You will die 

With love, you get some ideas

One day or another it's inevitable 

That you will be a poor kid 

Alone and abandoned 

You will end up marrying someone

Maybe even against your will

On your wedding night 

It will be too late for 

Any regrets 

Sing, dance Baby pop

As if tomorrow Baby pop

Should never Baby pop

Never come again

Sing, dance Baby pop

As if tomorrow Baby pop

In the early morning Baby pop

You will die 

You can't ignore the dangers

That represent your freedoms 

The threats of war 

Seem to indicate

At this moment, Baby, you know that 

Where the sun rises 

Somewhere on earth 

Bullets fly 

Blood is shed

Sing, dance Baby pop

As if tomorrow Baby pop

Should never Baby pop

Never come again

Sing, dance Baby pop

As if tomorrow Baby pop

In the early morning Baby pop

You will die

MB: How can I not melt when I see “la petite”*

Before her innocent eyes, before her smile

She's been changing for some time now, she's grown, the petite 

Already a woman but yet only a child 

FG: A child! I've seen everything, what does he mean! 

When I think that only yesterday I almost caught you 

Trying to kiss me, while I let it happen

He is not so bad, the friend of my father

Chorus, sung together:

One day the chicks takeoff 

The “petits” become grown, no longer children!

One day the chicks takeoff 

The “petits” become grown, no longer children!

MB: She is as fragile as a flower, so sweet the petite 

When I think that a man could break her heart 

Take advantage of her innocence, touch the petite 

I really want to, despite myself, protect her 

FG: Protect me! Great! Here he goes again 

With a teacher like yourself I'd be lucky 

Obviously I would learn how to do a thousand things 

He is clever, believe me, the friend of my father

(Chorus)

MB: How can I not melt when I see the petite 

FG: Before her innocent eyes, before her smile

MB: She's been changing for some time now, she's grown, the petite 

FG: You for as long as I've known you, you've never changed

*”La petite” means the darling, or dear, but I felt neither did the translation justice as much as leaving it be, since they do not insinuate youth in the same way. 

Overall this is a very, very creepy song that was criticized in its day. It was possibly an attempt by France Gall's father to recapture the success of "Les Sucettes" as her career faltered.

Daddy da da daddy da da

Daddy da da daddy da da

We're in a dance, you and me 

Daddy da da daddy da da

The boy that I prefer is an angel 

Between my fingers he balances 

And his boat full of love 

Returns to port at the end of the day

Daddy da da daddy da da

Daddy da da daddy da da

Turning, turning the world with you

Daddy da da daddy da da

I give you a time for the race

In the blue night or in the Ursa Major*

If you arrive first 

I'll give you a kiss

Daddy da da daddy da da

Daddy da da daddy da da

Turning, turning the world with you

Daddy da da daddy da da
