Elles ont la peau brune, les filles de chez nous
They have brown skin, the girls from our area
Des reflets de lune dans leurs yeux si doux
Reflections of the moon in their eyes so sweet
Elles mettent des flammes dans les coeurs des garçons
They put flames in the hearts of boys
Qu'elles soient filles ou femmes à la belle saison
Whether they are girls or women in the summer
Et dans nos villages elles dansent le soir
And in our villages they dance in the evening
Belles dans leur jeune âge font plaisir à voir
Beautiful at their young age are a pleasure to see
Dansent la Sardane sous le ciel de la nuit
Dancing the Sardana under the night sky
La mer catalane danse comme elles, sans bruit
The Catalan sea dances like them, without noise
les filles, les belles filles
girls, beautiful girls
les filles de notre pays
the girls of our country
Quand elles viennent à Paris
When they come to Paris
Les hommes sur leur passage
The men on their way
Ont les yeux tout éblouis
Their eyes are all dazzled
En voyant leur corsage
Seeing their blouse
Quand ils s'approchent trop d'elles
When they get too close to them
Elles disent: Je suis fidèle
They say: I am faithful
Mon fiancé m'attend, où ça?
My fiancé is waiting for me, where?
A Perpignan, à Perpignan, si si si
In Perpignan, in Perpignan, yes yes yes
Elles ont la peau brune, les filles de chez nous
They have brown skin, the girls from our area
Chacun sa chacune, le soir c'est si doux
Each one, the evening is so sweet
Sur la route d'Arles, de Céret, d'Amélie
On the road to Arles, Céret, Amélie
Quand les coeurs se parlent, les serments se lient
When hearts speak, oaths are bound
Elles sont aux autres, leurs poupées fardées
They belong to others, their made-up dolls
Nous gardons les nôtres, elles sont bien gardées
We keep ours, they are well guarded
Nos bras les protègent et les caressent aussi
Our arms protect them and caress them too
quel beau cortège, venez-les voir ici
what a beautiful procession, come see them here
les filles les belles filles
girls beautiful girls
les filles de notre pays
the girls of our country
