Babooshka (2018 Remaster)

Babooshka, babooshka

She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn't have made a worst move

She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears

And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter...

All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya

Babooshka

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see, if he...
Would fall a-for her incognito

And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny, how she...
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs

Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out

I'm all yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya

All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya

Babooshka, ya-ya

Babooshka

Babooshka
Babooshka
Babooshka

Babooshka (2018 Remaster)

Babooshka, babooshka

Elle voulait tester son mari
Elle savait exactement quoi faire
Un pseudonyme pour le tromper
Elle n'aurait pas pu faire pire

Elle lui a envoyé des lettres parfumées
Et il les a reçues avec un étrange plaisir
Tout comme sa femme
Mais comment elle était avant les larmes

Et comment elle était avant que les années ne passent
Et comment elle était quand elle était belle
Elle a signé la lettre...

Tout à toi
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Tout à toi
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya

Babooshka

Elle voulait aller plus loin
Alors elle a organisé un endroit où aller
Pour voir si...
Il tomberait amoureux d'elle incognito

Et quand il a posé les yeux sur elle
Il a eu le sentiment qu'ils s'étaient déjà rencontrés
Incroyable, comment elle...
Lui rappelle sa petite dame
Capacité à lui donner tout ce dont il a besoin

Tout comme sa femme avant qu'elle ne gèle sur lui
Tout comme sa femme quand elle était belle
Il a crié

Je suis tout à toi
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Tout à toi
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya

Tout à toi
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya-ya

Babooshka, ya-ya

Babooshka

Babooshka
Babooshka
Babooshka
