C'est un vieux carrousel qui ne veut plus tourner
It's an old carousel that no longer wants to turn
Sur le ton rituel des dimanches fanés
In the ritual tone of faded Sundays
Ô vous, la belle enfant
O you, the beautiful child
Qui pleurez dans les foules
Who cry in crowds
Venez sur mes chevaux
Come on my horses
Et mourez à leur houle
And die to their swell
Tournez dans les sillages
Turn in the wakes
Des plaisirs, des baisers
Pleasures, kisses
Tournez vite la page
Quickly turn the page
De vos amours décomposés
Of your decomposed loves
C'est un vieux carrousel qui l'a faite tourner
It was an old carousel that made it spin
À la foire du ciel où l'on peut s'attarder
At the sky fair where you can linger
Ô vous, l'homme pervers
O you, the perverted man
Qui êtes mon semblable
Who are my fellow
Prenez à mes pantins
Take from my puppets
Les ivresses coupables
Guilty drunkenness
Tournez dans la tristesse
Turn in sadness
De ce que vous croyez
Of what you believe
Prenez à ma tendresse
Take from my tenderness
Ce que je peux donner
What I can give
C'est un vieux carrousel, curieux entremetteur
It's an old carousel, curious matchmaker
Qui, d'un péché mortel peut faire du bonheur
Who, from a mortal sin can make happiness
Ô vous, l'ange indiscret
O you, the indiscreet angel
Qui êtes de service
Who are you on duty?
Oubliez une ronde
Forget a round
À cette heure complice
At this accomplice hour
Tournez dans la sagesse
Turn in wisdom
Des souvenirs que je n'ai plus
Memories that I no longer have
Dormez avant que ne cesse
Sleep before it stops
Ce grand péché que j'ai voulu
This great sin that I wanted
Et le vieux carrousel qui ne veut plus tourner
And the old carousel that no longer wants to turn
Devint le p'tit hôtel des amours surannées
Became the little hotel of old-fashioned loves
C'est un vieux carrousel qui ne veut plus tourner
It's an old carousel that no longer wants to turn
C'est un vieux carrousel qui ne veut plus tourner
It's an old carousel that no longer wants to turn
