Mofan Lai - Bonjour, ma belle!

There were roses in the garden, there was laughter in the sky
As I met the little maiden, and she shyly passed me by
And my heart went pit-a-pat-a on that golden summer day
As the sunlight played around her in her dainty robe of grey

She was French, and I was English, so what was a man to do
But I struggled to remember all the little French I knew

Bonjour, ma belle, we meet again, encore
Écoutez, whilst I whisper, C'est tu only que j'adore
Vos joues sont like the roses, Vos yeux, what shall I say
I don't know why I feel so shy. Bonjour, ma belle, good day

Then I watched her as the blushes dyed her cheek with rosy red
As with downcast eyes she listened to the words that I had said
And my heart went pit-a-pat-a as she raised those eyes divine
And I saw the laughter twinkle as they twinkled into mine

She was French, and I was English, so what was a maid to do
But she struggled to remember all the English that she knew

Bonjour, monsieur, or, how you speak, good day
Tu es bien mauvais garçon, but j'aime beaucoup les Anglais
Your words, Zey are si gentils, hélas, what can I do
My husband wait outside Ze gate, And so, m'sieur, adieu
