Moules Frites

Mussels and Fries

Moules Frites

Do you know what Paulo told meSais-tu ce qu'il m'a dit, Paulo
Or rather what his little finger tells himOu que son petit doigt lui dit, plutôt
When the latter rises, it's because a dream shell has come out of the waterQuand ce dernier se lève, c'est qu'une coquille de rêve, est sortit de l'eau
And then he sings:Et là il chante:

Paulo loves mussels and fries, without fries and without mayoPaulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo
Paulo loves mussels and fries, without fries and without mayoPaulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoYo yo yo, yo yo yo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoYo yo yo, yo yo yo

But before he sits down to eatMais avant qu'il passe à table
He always drinks a glass of white wineIl boit toujours un verre de blanc
To forget the dreadfulPour oublier l'exécrable
On and such a bitter taste of the oceanSur et si âcre goût de l'océan
And he's so agile, PauloEt il est tellement agile, Paulo
That he doesn't even have to begQu'il ne doit même pas supplier
And it's always so easyEt c'est à chaque fois si facile
But this time she's a little less fragile than what Paulo imaginesMais cette fois-ci elle est un peu moins fragile que ce que Paulo imagine
But as long as she was screamingMais du moment qu'elle criait

Paulo loves mussels and fries, without fries and without mayoPaulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo'
Paulo loves mussels and fries, without fries and without mayoPaulo aime les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo'
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoYo yo yo, yo yo yo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoYo yo yo, yo yo yo

But he should have been wary, PauloMais il aurait du s'en méfier, Paulo
Because we don't know where she swam earlierCar on ne sait où elle s'est baignée, plus tôt
As she was contaminated, Paulo won't sing anymoreComme elle était contaminée, Paulo ne chantera plus
Or maybe, once buried, PauloOu peut-être, une fois enterré, Paulo
We will all sing:On chantera tous:

Paulo loved mussels and fries, without fries and without mayoPaulo aimait les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo'
(To you, Paulo)(A toi, Paulo)
Paulo loved mussels and fries, without fries and without mayoPaulo aimait les moules frites, sans frites et sans mayo'
(We will all sing for you)(On chantera tous pour toi)
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoYo yo yo, yo yo yo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoYo yo yo, yo yo yo
