I'm discontented
With homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling, this place is a lover's oasis
Where life's weary chases' unknown
Far from the cry of the city
Where flowers pretty, caress the streams
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams
Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two, and two for tea
Me for you, and you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us, or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacations
We won't have it known
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake
And I will bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see
And we will raise a family
A boy for you and a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we would be?
Je vous vois déjà chez nous
Buvant du thé sur vos genoux
Avec du cake
Et des p'tits gâteaux secs !
Ah ! Quel bonheur !
Se sentir sans gêneur,
Tous les deux nez à nez,
Sans la bonne, sans personne,
A qui téléphoner !
Rien que nous vraiment seuls,
Bien seuls, seuls !
Le p'tit jour me surprendra
Vous préparant du chocolat !
Ce jour-là comme les autres jours !
Toujours !
Et finalement, certainement
Comme nous aurons beaucoup d'enfants
Voyez tous deux,
Comme nous serons heureux.
Can't you see how happy we would be?
