Adélaïïïïïde lui dis-je
Je vous aime d'amour
Mon oeil timiiiiide
Vous doit son plus beau jour
Question vocabulaire, c'est pas brillant
Adélaïïïïïde
Faites-moi signe et j'accours !...
["Adélaïïïïïde I tell her / I love you with love / My shy eye / Owes you its most beautiful day / As for vocabulary, it's not brilliant / Adélaïïïïïde / Give me a sign and I'll come running!..."]
