Il me disait y a qu'le look qui compte
He told me it’s only the look that counts
Et moi bien sûr j'me suis pas rendu compte
And I of course didn't realize
Qu'il regardait par dessus mon épaule
That he was looking over my shoulder
Cette fille lui a fait le coup du sang chaud
This girl gave him the hot blood
Et moi j'avais pas la couleur de peau
And I didn't have the skin color
Pour le calypso
For calypso
Besame mucho
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Vertigo in hot countries
Il disait 'let's go'
He said 'let's go'
J'ai besoin d'autre chose, calypso
I need something else, calypso
Il rêvait tout haut
He dreamed out loud
Danser là-bas bientôt
Dancing there soon
Le calypso
Calypso
Tico-tico-tico, calypso
Tico-tico-tico, calypso
C'est vrai qu'ici c'est pas les paillettes
It's true that it's not the glitter here
C'est pas non plus la mort qui nous guette
It's not death that awaits us either
Derrière les grands chapeaux, les sombreros
Behind the big hats, the sombreros
Et moi j'les trouve trop sucrés leurs sirops
And I find their syrups too sweet
Même si l'soleil d'ici n'brille pas si haut
Even if the sun here doesn't shine so high
Pour le calypso
For calypso
Besame mucho
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Vertigo in hot countries
Il disait 'let's go'
He said 'let's go'
J'ai besoin d'autre chose, calypso
I need something else, calypso
