Charlot Lyrics in English by Henri Salvador

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Charlot by Henri Salvador from French to English.
Maladie d'amour
Love sickness
Maladie des amoureux
Sickness of lovers
Si tu n'aimes que moi
If you only love me
Reste tout près de moi
Stay very close to me
Maladie d'amour
Love sickness
Maladie de jeunesse
Sickness of youth
Si tu n'aimes que moi
If you only love me
Viens, mais prend garde à toi
Come, but take care
Quand l'amour est petit
When love is small
C'est joli si joli
It's pretty, so pretty
Mais quand il devient fort
But when it becomes strong
Méfiez vous des amis
Beware of friends
Caché sous le feuillage
Hidden under the foliage
C'est comme un serpent gris
It's like a grey snake
N'allez pas car il mord
Don't go because it bites
Si vous le réveillez
If you wake it up
Maladie d'amour
Love sickness
Maladie des amoureux
Sickness of lovers
Si je n'aime que toi
If I only love you
Reste tout près de toi
Stay very close to you
Maladie d'amour
Love sickness
Maladie de jeunesse
Sickness of youth
Si je n'aime que moi
If I only love myself
Viens, mais prend garde à toi
Come, but take care
Quand l'amour est petit
When love is small
C'est joli si joli
It's pretty, so pretty
Mais quand il devient fort
But when it becomes strong
C'est plus beau que la vie
It's more beautiful than life
J'irai sous le feuillage
I'll go under the foliage
Chercher le serpent gris
To look for the grey snake
Car l'amour c'est la mort
For love is death
Mais c'est le Paradis
But it's Paradise
Car l'amour c'est la mort
For love is death
Mai c'est le Paradis
But it's Paradise
Did you like this lyrics translation?

feuillage — foliage

Feuillage translates to "foliage" or "leaves". It's a beautiful and somewhat poetic word that evokes images of nature and hidden places.

In the song, Henri Salvador uses "feuillage" to describe where a "serpent gris" (grey snake) is hidden. This imagery creates a sense of mystery and danger, as the snake represents the perilous side of love. The word itself is not extremely common in everyday conversation, making it more interesting and memorable in a song context.
