Suite Sixtine [English translation]

I'm not one minute over sixteen years old

And he's calling me "little whore" and mean names

If I dance on Saturday night, do I need to confess that or something?

Do I deserve a spanking as penitence?

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine1

Even if it's basically true that I'm no angel

Like the ones on that ceiling that Michelangelo painted,

Why blame me for original sin?

I'm not too ugly or anything, and it would be such a waste

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Don't judge me too harshly, I beg you!

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

Am I a demon? I don't know if it's true, but he said that too

But is my man himself even headed for heaven?

There's nothing wrong in wanting some company...

I'm nothing but a venial sin--but am I the only one on his soul?

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

Seminaries and convents, far away, what could he be doing?

Does he want me for a slave? Well, amen to that!

Today is Sunday, I love him, does he love me?

If the smoke is white, that means the answer is yes!

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Don't judge me too harshly, I beg you!

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

I'm not one minute over sixteen years old

And he's calling me "little whore" and mean names

If I danse on Saturday night, do I need to confess that or something?

Do I deserve a spanking as penitence?

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Don't judge me too harshly, I beg you!

Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

1. The Vatican City's Sistine Chapel in French is the "Chappelle Sixtine", so "suite Sixtine" is almost a perfect homophone with "sweet sixteen" in English. Still, I translated it like this because it still almost sounds the same, but having the word Sistine in the song makes all the religious imagery make a little more sense.
