Bébé Requin Lyrics in English France Gall

Bébé Requin plunges listeners into a sparkling under-sea fantasy where a mischievous "baby shark" invites her crush to slip down a glistening path of enamel toward a realm of pearls and coral. The setting feels playful and sun-soaked, yet every image shimmers with hidden danger: this sweet-voiced predator, with her white belly and mother-of-pearl teeth, will softly lure him into warm waters before he even senses the bite.

France Gall turns the shark into a symbol of flirtatious power. Beneath the velvet nickname hides a fiercely possessive heart willing to battle her own sisters to be the one who "devours" his. It is a cheeky blend of innocence and bold resolve, typical of the 1960s yé-yé spirit, wrapping a tale of magnetic, all-consuming love in bright melodies and seaside games.
