Les bonbons (version 1964)

I brought you some candies
Because flowers perish;

Then candies are so good
Although flowers are more presentable
Especially when they are in buds
But I brought you some candies

I hope we can take a walk
That your mother won't say anything
We'll go watch the trains go by
At eight o'clock I'll bring you back

What a beautiful Sunday for the season
I brought you some candies

If you knew how proud I am
To see you hanging on my arm
People look at me askance
Some even laugh behind me

The world is full of rascals
I brought you some candies

Oh yes Germaine is not as good as you
Oh yes Germaine she is not as beautiful
It's true Germaine has red hair
It's true Germaine she is cruel

You are absolutely right
I brought you some candies

And here we are on the Grand Place
On the bandstand they play Mozart
But tell me it's by chance
That your friend Léon is there

If you want me to give up my place
I had brought some candies

But hello Miss Germaine
I brought you some candies

Because flowers perish
Then candies are so good
Although flowers are more presentable...
