Текст песни The Proposal (Calypso) - Norman Luboff Choir

The lyrics for "The Proposal"

Haitian Folk Song

Ma'moiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you.
Never, ever have I proposed before
What I tell you is true
Ma'maoiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"

I travel over mountain and hill
Even sail the tropical sea
I never feel excitement until
You look in the direction of me
Now the situation is clear
No more travelling will I do
Because I have romantic idea
And you know it's all about you
Oooh

Ma'moiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you.
Never, ever have I proposed before
What I tell you is true
Ma'maoiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"

I'll build a house for you in the sun
From the window we'll see the moon
We'll be the envy of ev'ryone
And we'll be more than two very soon
Oh, to think this happen to me.
To settle down and pick me a wife
With all the pretty fish in the sea
To want to give up fishing for life
(Alt. To want to pick a fishy for life)

Ma'maoiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you
Never, never have I proposed before
What I tell you is true
Ma'maoiselle, je vous aime pour tout ma vie.
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"
