Always when i take a walk
I hear the same corny words
From people all 'round the world
When English man says: I love you
I answer him: oh, poor you,
Do you even know who i am?
Spanish guy who tells me too
"Yo t'aime, yo te veux"
I say: i'm too young for you
And German guy tells me
"Ach Fraulein, wollen sie"
I don't wanna waste my time
That's why i answer everyone:
I was born in the suburb of Saint-Denis
That's why i'm native woman from Paris
I don't believe your promises and words
Because for me, they are not more than jokes
I'm curious girl, my eyes are full of joy and charm
That's why i retry that i gently keep my heart
I was born in the suburb of Saint-Denis
Don't even try to fool a girl from Paris
One day, my rich brazilian man
Tells me that he has a plan
And if i would agree...
I could go on a trip with him
We'd ride on the Graff Zeppelin
It'd be... such a wonderful trip
We could travel 'round the world
He'd buy everything i want
No matter how much it costs
A dress from Santiago
A shawl from Bilbao
I interrupted him and said
My dear, try to understand
I was born in the suburb of Saint-Denis
That's why i'm native woman from Paris
All the dresses that i really like,
I buy in Paris cuz they are my type
Every detail is thought out to the smallest pieces
That's why all ordinary girls turn into
queens
I was born in the suburb of Saint-Denis
Don't even try to fool a girl from Paris
It happens every single day
Guys come to me and always say
That they'll love me for always
One offers a castle which i want
Another offers Hispano
And a lot of things made of gold
Now and then i ask myself
If i ever answered yes
I would have a really big cash
But none of them have said
I wanna marry Mistinguett
Not losing time, not giving hope
I answered them in simple words
I was born in the suburb of Saint-Denis
That's why i'm native woman from Paris
When i feel that i fall in love
I give my heart, i do it just for fun
My type of guys is those who buy me pretty flowers
They make me glow because they know that i love violets
I was born in the suburb of Saint-Denis
We are not venal, we're girls from Paris!
