Original text with translation
Françoise Hardy
Quand il s’en va chercher sa madeleine
Il sent déjà le lait le caramel
Mais s’il prend les vessies pour des lanternes
Il sera saigné très vite aux quatre veines
Doucement
Gentiment
Comme un enfant
Innocent
Boit-il du jus d’orange
Ou fume-t-il des mélanges
Qui lui font voir la mer
En plein désert?
Quand il s’en va chérir sa Madeleine
Quand je le vois courir à perdre haleine
Ouvrir ses bras charmants à la vilaine
Qui cassera ses dents de porcelaine
Nez au vent
En rêvant
Comme un enfant
Innocent
A quinze pieds du sol
Il pare d’une auréole
Les guêpes pas du tout folles
Qu’il trouve en solde
Quand il s’en va chercher sa Madeleine
Je me mets à pleurer comme une madeleine
Il connaît pas vraiment les stratagèmes
Qui datent pourtant d’avant Mathusalem…
Et il s’en va croquer sa madeleine
Puisqu’il la croit dorée sucrée au miel
Et les gens rient de lui comme des baleines
But don’t you take all this too personnel
Nez au vent
En rêvant
Comme un enfant
Innocent
La tête dans les nuages
Il part dans des voyages
Où tous les marécages
Sont transparents…
When he goes to get his madeleine
He already smells of milk and caramel
But if he takes the bladders for lanterns
He will be bled very quickly from the four veins
Gently
Kindly
Like a child
Innocent
Does he drink orange juice
Or does he smoke blends
Which make him see the sea
In the middle of the desert?
When he goes to cherish his Madeleine
When I see him running out of breath
Open her charming arms to the villain
Who will break his porcelain teeth
Nose to the Wind
Dreaming
Like a child
Innocent
Fifteen feet off the ground
He wears a halo
Wasps not at all mad
What he finds on sale
When he goes to get his Madeleine
I start to cry like a madeleine
He don't really know the schemes
Which however date from before Methuselah…
And he goes to bite into his madeleine
Since he thinks it golden sweetened with honey
And people laugh at him like whales
But don't you take all this too personal
Nose to the Wind
Dreaming
Like a child
Innocent
Head in the clouds
He goes on trips
Where all the swamps
Are transparent...
