A little tune goes from mouth to mouth
_____
It's popular, and there's a reason
_____
Because it praises the darling of many ladies
_____
Who for his sake stepped out of line
_____
God Cupid himself composed it
_____
Dedicated it to the beautiful women
_____
And because it sounds enchanting and sweet
People sing it all over Paris
_____
You're lucky with women, Bel Ami!
_____
So much luck with women, Bel Ami!
_____
You're not handsome, but charming
_____
You're not smart, but very gallant
_____
You fall in love anew every day
_____
You kiss them all and stay true to none
_____
But the woman who loves you
_____
You make happier than ever before
_____
Bel Ami! Bel Ami! Bel Ami!
_____
I know a nice young man
_____
Who is nothing at all and can do nothing special
_____
Yet the ladies worship him passionately
_____
Because he has what all women desire
_____
He makes the other men really nervous
_____
With his wild chronique scandaleuse
_____
He takes the women as he wants
With him every woman keeps still
_____
You're lucky with women, Bel Ami!
_____
So much luck with women, Bel Ami!
_____
You're not handsome, but charming
_____
You're not smart, but very gallant
_____
Just a man who appeals
_____
You fall in love anew every day
_____
You kiss them all and stay true to none
_____
But the woman who loves you
_____
You make happier than ever before
_____
Bel Ami! Bel Ami! Bel Ami!
