Petit Ballon Lyrics in English Joe Dassin
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Petit Ballon by Joe Dassin from French to English.
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Seras-tu fille ou bien garçon
Will you be a girl or a boy
Je n'me pose même pas la question
I don't even ask myself the question
Tu t'appelleras Nicole et pas de discussion
You will be called Nicole and no discussion
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Il y aura une rose à ton prénom
There will be a rose with your name
Tu seras la plus jolie
You will be the prettiest
Un bébé réussi
A successful baby
De huit livres et demi
Weighing eight and a half pounds
Avec des cheveux blonds
With blonde hair
Et tu auras les yeux bleus de ta mère
And you will have your mother's blue eyes
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Je t'aime déjà comme si
I already love you as if
J'allais t'embrasser dans ton lit
I was going to kiss you in your bed
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Tes jupons sont déjà trop courts
Your petticoats are already too short
Tu embellis de jour en jour
You get more beautiful day by day
Tu fais l'admiration des profs pendant les cours
You make the teachers admire you during class
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Tu as même le prix de récréation
You even have the playground prize
Tu étais déjà coquette
You were already pretty
Mais tu changes de tête
But you change your look
Tu te maquilles en cachette
You put on makeup in secret
Tu mets des hauts talons
You wear high heels
Encore un peu tu dépasses ta mère
Soon you'll be taller than your mother
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Je t'aime déjà comme si
I already love you as if
J'allais t'embrasser dans ton lit
I was going to kiss you in your bed
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Tu as déjà pleuré pour un garçon
You have already cried for a boy
Je n'ai pas vu le temps passer
I didn't see the time pass
Te voilà fiancée
Here you are engaged
Te voilà mariée
Here you are married
Tu quittes la maison
You leave the house
Pour un salaud qui te vole à ton père
For a bastard who steals you from your father
Petit ballon
Little balloon
Je t'aime déjà comme si
I already love you as if
J'allais t'embrasser dans ton lit
I was going to kiss you in your bed
Je t'aime déjà comme si
I already love you as if
J'allais pleurer près de ton lit
I was going to cry by your bed
