Marquise, si mon visage
Marquise, if my face
A quelques traits un peu vieux
Has some slightly old features
Souvenez-vous qu'à mon âge
Remember that at my age
Vous ne vaudrez guères mieux
You won't be much better

Le temps aux plus belles choses
Time for the most beautiful things
Se plaîst à faire un affront
Takes pleasure in making an affront
Et saura faner vos roses
And will wilt your roses
Comme il a ridé mon front
As he wrinkled my forehead
{2x}
{2x}
Le mesme cours des planètes
The same course of the planets
Règle nos jours et nos nuits
Rule our days and nights
On m'a vu ce que vous estes
I saw what you are
Vous serez ce que je suis
You will be what I am

Peut-être que je serai vieille
Maybe I'll be old
Répond Marquise, cependant
Marquise replies, however
J'ai vingt-six ans, mon vieux Corneille
I am twenty-six years old, my old Corneille
Et je t'emmerde en attendant
And fuck you in the meantime
{2x}
