Cascade

[Intro]
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, there was a widow who had two daughters
The little one was nice like her father
The big one was bad like her mother
The little girl had to go to the fountain twice a day
Which was a long way away

[Chorus]
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre

[Verse 2]
One day, an ugly old woman came to the fountain
"Would you give me a drink, please?" "Of course, madam"
"You're so nice, listen
With every word you say, precious stones will come out of your mouth
I am a fairy, my ugly appearance was to test your compassion"

[Chorus]
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre

[Verse 3]
When she came home, her mother yelled, "What were you doing?"
"I beg your pardon for being so late"
As soon as she said these words, roses, pearls, and diamonds flowed out of her mouth
"What do I see, my darling child? But where did you get all this?"
The little girl told the whole story in detail and as she talked and talked
Roses, pearls, and diamonds came out of her mouth
Flowing down to the ground in a marvellous cascade

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre
Des roses, des perles, des cascades de diamants
Jaillissent de sa bouche et roulent jusqu'à terre
