Lyrics and translation Fréhel - Musette




Musette
Musette
C'était une vraie fleur d'amour
She was a true flower of love,
Et quand un jour dans le faubourg
And when one day in the suburb,
Ses jolis yeux bleus et son regard si doux
Her pretty blue eyes and her gaze so sweet,
Rendaient les hommes amoureux fous
Drove men crazy with love.
On la rencontrait le sam'di
One would meet her on Saturday,
Dans les musettes de Paris
In the dance halls of Paris.
Dès qu'elle entrait fallait voir tous les copains
As soon as she entered, you had to see all the buddies,
Courir pour lui serrer la main
Running to shake her hand.
C'était un rayon de bonheur
She was a ray of happiness,
Qu'elle apportait dans tous les coeurs
That she brought to all hearts.
Musette, brunette
Musette, brunette,
Jolie poupée d'amour
Pretty little love doll.
Quand on a valsé avec toi
When one has waltzed with you,
On a le béguin malgré soi
One has the crush in spite of oneself.
Musette, coquette
Musette, flirt,
On t'aimera toujours
One will always love you,
C'est toi la reine des musettes
You are the queen of the dance halls,
Musette
Musette.
Mais un beau jour le p'tit Léon
But one fine day, little Léon,
Un des as de l'accordéon
One of the aces of the accordion,
Dit à Musette: "J'ai l'gros béguin pour toi
Said to Musette: "I have a big crush on you,
Veux-tu te marier avec moi?"
Will you marry me?"
Musette en riant dit: "T'es fou,
Musette laughing said: "You're crazy,
Moi me mettre la corde au cou?
Me to put the rope around my neck?
Quitter les amis, le Paris, le Faubourg,
To leave my friends, Paris, the Faubourg,
Et mon quartier j'ai vu l'jour?
And my neighborhood where I was born?
J'aime mieux rester parmi vous
I prefer to stay among you,
Je ne veux pas faire de jaloux"
I don't want to make anyone jealous."
Musette, brunette
Musette, brunette,
Jolie poupée d'amour
Pretty little love doll.
Quand on a valsé avec toi
When one has waltzed with you,
On a le béguin malgré soi
One has the crush in spite of oneself.
Musette, coquette
Musette, flirt,
On t'aimera toujours
One will always love you,
C'est toi la reine des musettes
You are the queen of the dance halls,
Musette.
Musette.
