Babooshka
She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn't have made a worse 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!
She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall 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!

Elle voulait tester son mari
Elle savait exactement quoi faire
Un pseudonyme pour le berner
Elle n'aurait pas pu faire pire erreur
Elle lui a envoyé des lettres parfumées
Et il les a reçues avec un étrange plaisir
Comme sa femme
Mais comme elle était avant les larmes
Et comme elle était avant que les années passent
Et comme 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 !
Elle voulait aller plus loin
Alors elle a trouvé un endroit où aller
Pour voir s'il
Tomberait pour elle incognito
Et quand il l'a aperçue
Il a eu l'impression de l'avoir déjà rencontrée
Étrange comme elle
Lui rappelle sa petite dame
Capacité à lui donner tout ce dont il a besoin
Comme sa femme avant qu'elle ne se fige
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 !
