LITERAL TRANSLATION
*** UNOFFICIAL ***
I've hung myself up by the feet...It's the strangest thing I've ever done!
Descending down the stairs
Four steps at once to find you again
It's true
Your style when you're switched on
It's the talk of the locality
You are my perfect being
My double expresso, my
amphetamine!
You saw me, you pleased me!
Recognized, the super attitude!
You came, in a tutu [~whirl of]
Ideas...of great adventure
To mince his words,
Not at my home, not at your home!
Chase away the ego!
Why who? Why to do [it]?
The alter ego!
Your choice, it's superb!
You are hyper-beautiful!
Praise me wolf, totally entirely...
I take the enchanted flute
It is the best ball for dancing!
Worn out,
Not fit to stand, tired out
But...ascents of joy fill the head
You read
The flowers of those not beloved
It's the best book for the summer!
You are my master of thinking
My master of doing somersaults

J'm'ai pendu par les pieds...C'est le plus bizarre que j'ai fait !
Descendu l'escalier
Quatre à quatre pour te retrouver
C'est vrai
Tes allures "d'allumé !"
C'est "l'hallu" de tout le quartier
Tu es mon être parfait
Mon double expresso, mon
amphet !
Tu m'as vu, tu m'as plu !
Reconnue, la toc attitude !
Tu es venu, en tutu
Des idées ... de grande aventure
Mâcher ses mots,
Pas chez moi, pas chez touak !
Chasser l'ego !
Pourquoi qui ? Pourquoi faire ?
L'alter ego !
Tes choix c'est toc de mac !
T'es hyper beau !
Loue-moi loup, toute entière
J'mets la flûte enchantée
C'est le bal le mieux pour danser ! Crevée,
Flagada, fatiguée
Mais ... montées de joie plein la tête !
Tu lis
Les fleurs du mal "aimé"
C'est le livre le mieux pour l'été !
Tu es mon maître à penser
Mon maître à faire des galipettes
REFLECTION: a complementary
complimentary interpretation...
*** UNOFFICIAL ***
Hanging, feet in the airSo bizarre but what do I care!
Descending down the stairs
Four at once to see if you're there
No way!
Crazy style your own way
You're a sight to see, so they say (they say!)
You're my one perfect mate
My double expresso, my
speed-date !
Saw me too, I liked you
Really knew, a rock attitude!
You came through, lots to do
Ideas of our great adventure
Machissimo
Not with me, not like that
Chase all ego!
Why not me? Why not dare me?
Alter ego!
Your choice is toc de mac!
You super beau!
Praise me true, so completely
Magic flute I can play
It's the best for dancing I'll say!
Can't stop
Fit to drop, play all day
Rising joy blows my mind away!
You read
Of those unloved this way
Oh the best book for summer days(yeh-yeh!)
Master of my minds' ways
Master of fun tricks that we play
