Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ses Baisers Me Grisaient by Nana Mouskouri from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
C'était un jeune homme ignorant des baisers
He was a young man ignorant of kisses
On lui a dit 'Mon fils
They told him, 'My son
Il est temps de changer'
It's time for a change'
A trouvé une blonde et il l'a embrassée
Found a blonde and he kissed her
Et juste après, a recommencé
And then it started again
Parce que, Seigneur! ses baisers le grisaient
Because, Lord! her kisses intoxicated him
Mon Dieu! mmh ses baisers le grisaient
My God! mmh her kisses intoxicated him
Il dit 'Voulez-vous m'écouter, ma chérie?
He says 'Will you listen to me, my darling?
Voici ma main
Here is my hand
Je serai le meilleur des maris'
I will be the best husband
A plaidé sa cause avec son âme et sa vie
Pleaded his cause with his soul and his life
Alors, elle a fini par lui dire oui
So she ended up saying yes to him
Il voulait se marier et avoir douze enfants
He wanted to get married and have twelve children
Mais le lendemain matin
But the next morning
En revenant des champs
Coming back from the fields
Une brune aux yeux verts est venue à passer
A brunette with green eyes came by
Alors, il dit 'Voulez-vous m'épouser?'
So he said 'Will you marry me?'
En partant pour la noce avec son cheval brun
Leaving for the wedding with her brown horse
Il a croisé une rousse au détour du chemin
He met a redhead at the bend of the path
Elle avait la peau fraîche
She had fresh skin
Et le nez retroussé
And the nose turned up
Alors, il l'a suivie sans même se retourner
So he followed her without even turning around
Et le temps a roulé, il est devenu vieux
And time moved on, it became old
Et maintenant, le pauvre
And now the poor thing
Il n'a plus de cheveux
He no longer has hair
Mais je connais une dame
But I know a lady
Qui persiste à l'aimer
Who persists in loving him
Alors un jour, il reviendra au foyer
So one day he will come home
Parce que, Seigneur! ses baisers me grisaient
Because, Lord! his kisses intoxicated me
Mon Dieu! mmh ses baisers me grisaient
My God! mmh his kisses intoxicated me
