Baby Pop Lyrics in English France Gall

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Baby Pop by France Gall from French to English.
The few coins you're gonna earn
You'll have to work hard for them
Get up at dawn
Autumn or summer
However much you save
You won't put anything aside
And on top of that
Be happy if you can
Go dancing
Sing, dance Baby pop
Like tomorrow Baby pop
Might never Baby pop
Ever return
Sing, dance Baby pop
Like tomorrow Baby pop
At dawn Baby pop
You were gonna die
About love you're fooling yourself
Sooner or later it's bound to
You'll be a poor kid
Alone and abandoned
You'll end up getting married
Maybe even against your will
On your wedding night
It'll be too late to
Regret it
Sing, dance Baby pop
Like tomorrow Baby pop
Might never Baby pop
Ever return
Sing, dance Baby pop
Like tomorrow Baby pop
At dawn Baby pop
You were gonna die
You can't ignore the dangers
That freedoms pose
The threats of war
Seem to be closing in
Right now Baby you know
When all the suns are gonna rise
Somewhere on Earth
Bullets whistle
Blood's spilled
Sing, dance Baby pop
Like tomorrow Baby pop
Might never Baby pop
Ever return
Sing, dance Baby pop
Like tomorrow Baby pop
At dawn Baby pop
You were gonna die

SONG MEANING

France Gall’s "Baby Pop" wraps a sparkling yé-yé melody around a surprisingly sober message. The verses paint a gritty picture of adulthood: long hours at low-wage jobs, the risk of loveless marriage, and even the shadow of war. Life, it warns, can drain your savings and your spirit before the sun is up.

Yet the chorus bursts in with a rallying cry: "Chante, danse Baby Pop". Gall urges her listener to sing and dance as if there were no tomorrow, to squeeze every drop of joy from the present moment while youth still sparkles. The song is a playful reminder that, even when the future looks bleak, music and movement can be acts of rebellion and hope.
