Ta chambre est couverte de petits bouts de soie
Le chat sur le tapis s'en donne â?¦ãž²ã¬n coeur joie
Pr阣 du feu qui danse, le fauteuil se balance
Et berce ton p阢e endormi

Your room is covered with little silk pieces
The cat on the carpet have very much fun
Near the fire which dances, the armchair is rocking
And rocks your asleep father
Ta maman sans dire mot
Ach阦e de plier ton trousseau
Ton papa saura demain, apr阣 le bal
Qu'un mariage coé¹´e bien du mal

Your mother without saying a word
Finishes to fold your trousseau
Your father will know tomorrow, after the dance
That a mariage costs lots of efforts

La lumi阢e de la lampe fume et chancelle
Tes yeux se couvrent d'un rideau de dentelles
Ne les laisse pas se fatiguer mon amie
Demain, il faut é?¾re jolie

The light of the lamp smokes and wobles
Your eyes get covered with a lacy curtain
Don't let them bore you my friend
Tomorrow you must be pretty
Et quand l'orgue chantera
Lorsqu'enfin tu lui prendras le bras
Puissent des millions d'é“ oiles au fil des heures
Semer votre route de bonheur

And when the organ will sing
When finally you'll take his arm
Hope millions of star along with the hours
Sowing you path of joy
