Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maladie d'amour by Henri Salvador from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Maladie d'amour, maladie de la jeunesse
Love disease, youth disease
Si tu n'aimes que moi
If you only love me
Reste tout près de moi
Stay close to me
Maladie d'amour, maladie de la jeunesse
Love disease, youth disease
Si tu n'aimes que moi
If you only love me
Reste tout près de moi
Stay close to me
Quand l'amour est petit, c'est joli si joli
When love is small, it's pretty so pretty
Mais il devient fort, méfiez-vous mes amis
But he's getting strong, beware my friends
Caché sous le feuillage
Hidden under the foliage
C'est comme un serpent gris
It's like a gray snake
N'allez pas quand il dort
Don't go when he's asleep
Surtout le réveiller
Especially waking him up
N'allez pas car il mord
Don't go because he bites
Si vous le réveillez
If you wake him up
Quand l'amour est petit, c'est joli si joli
When love is small, it's pretty so pretty
Mais quand il devient fort
But when he gets 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
Search for the grey snake
Car l'amour c'est la mort
For love is death
Mais c'est aussi la vie
But it's also life
Car l'amour c'est la mort
For love is death
Et c'est le paradis
And it's paradise
